| HISTORY OF THE MURIE CENTER | IN 1990, THE OLAUS MURIE RESIDENCE AND STUDIO WERE LISTED IN THE NATIONAL REGISTRY OF HISTORIC PLACES FOR THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH REGIONAL CONSERVATION. THE REMAINDER OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL STS RANCH BUILDINGS, WAS DESIGNATED A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK IN 2006. THE MURIE LEGACY IS OUR FOUNDATION - THAT TRUE AND LASTING CONSERVATION REQUIRES CREATIVITY AND VIGOROUS, INFORMED DIALOGUE ACROSS A FULL SPECTRUM OF INTERESTED PEOPLE. DURING THE PAST FEW DECADES THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT HAS OFTEN BEEN RELEGATED TO THE POSITION OF SPECIAL INTEREST. TODAY, WITH THE HEIGHTENED AWARENESS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND SUSTAINABILITY, CONSERVATION IS ONCE AGAIN EMERGING AS A CENTRAL THEME IN DIALOGUES TAKING PLACE IN CORPORATE BOARD ROOMS, IN THE HALLS OF GOVERNMENT, AND AT KITCHEN TABLES. THE MURIE CENTER WAS FORMED TO PARTNER WITH GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK TO BECOME STEWARDS OF THE RANCH AND TO CARRY ON THE WORK OF THE MURIE FAMILY. IN 2001, THE CENTER LAUNCHED ITS CAMPAIGN TO RESTORE THE BUILDINGS AND IMPROVE THE RANCH INFRASTRUCTURE TO CREATE AN 18-BED RETREAT CENTER FOR CARRYING OUT ITS ACTIVITIES. TODAY, THE MURIE RANCH IS ALIVE WITH ACTIVITY AND THE MURIES' VISION FOR THEIR HOME IS BEING REALIZED AS A DYNAMIC CENTER WHERE PEOPLE GATHER FOR STUDY, DEBATE AND INSPIRATION ON BEHALF OF WILD NATURE. OUR WORK AT THE MURIE CENTER IS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT CONSERVING WILDERNESS IS NOT JUST A 'SPECIAL INTEREST'. WHY? BECAUSE WILDERNESS HELPS US KEEP PERSPECTIVE ON OUR TRUE PLACE IN THE WORLD. IT IS PART OF OUR FOUNDATION AS HUMANS FOR WHAT IS REAL, NATURAL, AND BALANCED. WITHOUT IT, OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HEALTHY COMMUNITIES IS LOST AND OUR HUMAN INSTINCTS ARE DULLED. IN WILDNESS WE ARE REMINDED OF OUR HUMAN ORIGINS AND OUR ETHICAL OBLIGATION TO PASS LIFE TO FUTURE GENERATIONS. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS THE WORK OF THE MURIES, AND IS WHAT THEY WOULD BE DOING TODAY. THIS YEAR, WE'RE WORKING TO ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION BY FOCUSING IN FIVE AREAS - INNOVATION, EDUCATION, PRESERVATION, LEADERSHIP & COMMUNITY. |
