HISTORY & HERITAGE The Wort Hotel is a landmark on the National Register of Historic Places and an icon of Jackson Hole, whose beginning is owed to Charles Wort, a homesteader in the late 1800s. He did not live long enough to see his dream of a luxury hotel come to true but his sons, John and Jess, fulfilled the dream and in September of 1941, The Wort Hotel opened its doors. In 1950 The Silver Dollar Bar was established with its serpentine bar famous for the 2,032 inlaid Morgan silver dollars. Although gambling has always been illegal in Wyoming, it was tolerated for years as a tourist amusement. Eventually outside pressure pushed the gambling to the basement creating legendary tales of escape tunnels and raids. Tragically, on the afternoon of August 5, 1980, The Wort caught fire, the cause most likely an osprey nest on the neon sign. In June 1981, The Wort reopened its doors to a grateful town and huge party. The Memorial Weekend event was so beloved that it became an annual celebration called Old West Days. On the walls throughout the hotel are historical photographs documenting over 75 years as the hub of Jackson s community.
