Lowell Station Replaces Old Ranger Headquarters
1953-03-04
Lowell, Lane County, Oregon, United States
This article is reporting about an old building that was decommissioned because water will cover the site. The new building will be in town and open for public visitors after all official moving business is complete. There are plans to build a barn, office, tool shed, bunkhouse and oil house and three residents on the 20-acre property. There is a list of the first rangers and forest supervisors and how they traveled by horses, sent messages via “carrier pigeons” and how they set up the first phone lines in 1913. There was a big fire in 1919 in Big Fall Creek. The snags were logged 33 years later and started a lucrative logging operation.
