Keystone Work Center Entrance - Medicine Bow National Forest WY
Description
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) crews from the Chimney Park Camp (F-17-W) in Laramie, Wyoming constructed two log structures for the Keystone Work Center from 1939 to 1942.
Located on the southeastern slopes of Wyoming’s Medicine Bow Mountain Range, the Keystone Work Center was originally developed as a forest ranger station before becoming a larger workspace for the U.S. Forest Service.
The structures represent a distinctive building style of the CCC, with saddle-notched logs and a wood shingled roof.
The site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
