Munson Valley Historic District

Munson Valley Historic District contains eighteen primary structures positioned within Crater Lake National Park, reflecting the National Park Service rustic architectural design.

The site became the park headquarters in 1924, leading to extensive construction from 1927 to 1930 of administrative buildings and staff quarters.

The structures incorporate native materials and naturalistic design elements, demonstrating the National Park Service approach to harmonizing buildings with natural surroundings.

Visitors can access park information, obtain maps, and learn about Crater Lake National Park at the former Ranger Dormitory, which now functions as the main center.

The Superintendent's Residence, constructed in 1933, maintains its status as a National Historic Landmark while housing the Science and Learning Center.
