Edge of the Wilderness
Chippewa National Forest Ranger Station, MN

Native red pine logs from the Cut Foot Sioux Lake area and labor from the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) were the building blocks for the Marcell Ranger Station and its cluster of log buildings designed for lodging and maintenance services. Here in the Chippewa National Forest, crews from the Inger and Day Lake CCC Camps constructed six Rustic Style buildings. Five remain today and the entire administrative site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
