Spare some change?

People have issues with comprehending large numbers, so to understand this convert one dollar to one second and then comprehend it as time.

For $10,000 it is 0 years, 0 months, 0 days, 2 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds

For $50,000 it is 0 years, 0 months, 0 days, 13 hours, 53 minutes, and 20 seconds

For $100,000 it is 0 years, 0 months, 1 days, 3 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds

For $500,000 it is 0 years, 0 months, 5 days, 18 hours, 53 minutes, and 20 seconds

For $1,000,000 it is 0 years, 0 months, 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds

For $50,000,000 it is 1 years, 7 months, 3 days, 10 hours, 53 minutes, and 20.0 seconds

For $1,000,000,000 it is 31 years, 8 months, 11 days, 7 hours, 46 minutes, and 40.0 seconds

For $182,000,000,000 it is 5767 years, 2 months, 24 days, 17 hours, 33 minutes, and 20.0 seconds

Notice that $1 Million is 11 days, but $1 Billion is 31 years. His worth is 5767 years. If his wealth decreased by a billion his lifestyle would not change one bit but if that went to his employees over multiple years they would see a huge change.

Trying to find a specific park

Found it! The Mammoth Hot Springs visitor center is what we were remembering, and from google search for Albright Visitor Center looking at the pictures the second one is a video and starts out with a plaque showing "Fort Yellowstone has been designated a National Historic Landmark." That explains why searching for National Parks with Fort in the name didn't help. The rest of the details about the Black soldiers and town people probably got merged in my head. Looking through the other pictures it matches the place I remember. The officers houses can be seen along Barracks Street. Maybe the half duplex part was a picture?

Thanks!
