Missoula, MT – The National Museum of Forest Service History (NMFSH) today honored the Cascade Ranger District, Boise National Forest with the Museum’s Historical Restoration Award for the restoration of the historic Landmark Ranger Station.
The Historical Restoration Award recognizes an individual or group who demonstrate initiative and innovative means to restore historical Forest Service buildings or sites.
The preservation of historic Forest Service buildings is important to preserving the heritage and culture of the U.S. Forest Service. This building tells an important story of generations of Forest officers and their families’ efforts to care for the land and serve the public.
