Fishing Bridge Museum

The Fishing Bridge Museum is one of a series of "trailside museums" in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA, designed by architect Herbert Maier in a style that has become known as National Park Service Rustic. It is one of three parts of a 1987-declared National Historic Landmark, the Norris, Madison, and Fishing Bridge Museums.cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/harrison/harrison20.htm |title="Architecture in the Parks: A National Historic Landmark Theme Study: Norris, Madison, and Fishing Bridge Museums", by Laura Soullière Harrison |accessdate=2008-02-26|work=National Historic Landmark Theme Study|publisher=National Park Service] It seems not to have been listed separately on the National Register of Historic Places as the other two were. Built in 1931, the Fishing Bridge Museum is the largest in the series, and is presently used as a small visitor center. The museum displays stuffed mounts of birds and animals found in Yellowstone Park.
