Camp Pinchot Historic District, Historic district at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.
Camp Pinchot Historic District is a collection of ten military and administrative buildings spread across 180 acres on Eglin Air Force Base. The structures line Garnier's Bayou and represent different construction periods from the base's early years.
The area was established to train foresters and named after the first head of the United States Forest Service. It earned listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
The buildings show construction methods used for early forestry work on military grounds. They reveal how forest management and military operations worked together in this region.
Since the site is located within Eglin Air Force Base, you need advance permission and proper identification to visit. Plan ahead and check with base security for current access requirements before your visit.
The site started as a private forestry training project before the military took it over. This dual history links civilian conservation work with military infrastructure in an unusual way.
