description

Summary

Significance: The Hornet Ranger Station forms important historical associations with two federal agencies: the U.S. Forest Service and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Both of these agencies were instrumental in the regional development of the West during the first half of the twentieth century. / The Blacksmith Shop is a one-story building, 14 feet (E-W) by 16 feet (N-S). It measures 12.5 feet in height from the ground to the peak of the roof. It was located in the working portion of the site, near the western end of the complex. Placement was determined in consideration of the fire danger associated with the operation of a forge.
