Museum Heritage Cookbook

To celebrate New Century of Service and pay tribute to the Decades of Dedication given by Forest Service employees now retired, the Intermountain Region and the National Museum of Forest Service History are sponsoring a Heritage Cookbook. Outdoor cooking and camping were a big part of the early days of our agency. Rangers’ wives prepared meals as they accompanied their spouses in the field and early day k-rations were supplemented by meals prepared and served over the open campfire. Manning rustic lookouts in remote locations involved meal preparation using unique methods. Histories often document how preparing food in the field was important and necessary for existence.

This cookbook will feature recipes for Dutch oven meals, camp fire cooking and other methods used in the early days of the Forest Service along with photos and anecdotes documenting these activities of the past.
