Bechler River Soldier Station


The United States Army Administered Yellowstone National Park for 30 years. Solders built this house, ranger station and barn in 1911 to better protect the park and wildlife. They patrolled for poachers, fought forest fires and assisted visitors much the same way as Park Rangers do today. The Army stayed until the creation of the National Park Service in 1916. The exterior of these building has changed little since construction.
