FURNISHING AND EXHIBIT DATA
In June 1967, Nan V. Rickey examined the museum collections at Yellowstone National Park. She identified those objects that are suitable for a historic refurnishing of the Norris Soldier Station. The collection is now stored at the Midwest Regional Office, Omaha, Nebraska. The following list of items suitable for Norris is extracted from Mrs. Rickey's report. Those items marked with an asterisk were identified by Mrs. Rickey as things that "probably wouldn't appear in a refurnished Norris Soldier Station, but are good and should be kept for use in other interpretive developments at Yellowstone."
