The Kelly parcel is just 1 square mile of rolling hills and aspen groves at the doorstep of one of America’s great national parks, Grand Teton in Wyoming. But don’t be fooled by the sagebrush: This piece of property is something special.

After a decades-long effort, Wyoming gave final approval for selling state-owned land located within national park boundaries.

The $100 million from the sale of the so-called Kelly Parcel can be used by Wyoming to purchase other federal lands and minerals within the state.

The federal government is buying what’s known as the Kelly parcel, 640 acres of land that Wyoming held in its state school trust.
