High Desert MuseumThe restored ranger station at the High Desert Museum.

A restored ranger station from Nevada will open July 1 at the USFSLes Joslin at the ranger station in the 1960s.

This marks the culmination of work led by the museum's curator of Western history Bob Boyd. He worked with museum volunteer Les Joslin, who began working with the Forest Service in the one-room station in 1962, to move the building to the museum last summer.

The station's formerly remote location had been contributing to its demise. It had not been in use for almost 20 years, was 40 miles from the nearest Forest Service administrative site, and was being increasingly vandalized.

The Civilian Conservation Corps built the station in eastern California at Bridgeport, Calif., in 1933. In 1962, the Forest Service moved it to the Reese River Valley in central Nevada.

According to the architectural historian for the region's national Forest Service, this station is the only surviving building of its type that has not been subjected to major renovation or modification over the past 75 years.
