Rand Ranger Station
Rand Ranger Station, Ranger station in Galice, Oregon.
The Rand Ranger Station contains eight buildings constructed between 1931 and 1936, featuring rustic architecture within the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.
The United States Forest Service established the station in 1917 after obtaining land from a mining company, with Jesse P. Dewitt serving as the first district ranger.
The Civilian Conservation Corps contributed to the development by establishing Camp 1650 in 1933, constructing additional buildings and supporting forest management activities.
Located three miles north of Galice on Merlin-Galice Road, the station houses the Smullin Visitor Center, which opens from mid-May through mid-October.
The compound includes specialized structures such as a fire equipment warehouse, blacksmith shop, and gas house, demonstrating early forest service operations.
