| Tower District Ranger
Stations The Tower District has no visitor
center, museum, or formal interpretive contact stations.
The Division of Resource Management and Visitor Protection operates
three ranger stations in the Tower District. These are located at Tower Junction, the
Lamar Buffalo Ranch, and the Northeast Entrance. The Tower Ranger Station issues
backcountry and fishing permits. The building, constructed in 1923, is a remodeled
reconstruction of the second Tower Soldier Station, originally constructed in 1907.
The Lamar Ranger Station, located at the Buffalo Ranch in the Lamar
Valley, provides emergency visitor services only. The ranger station is also used as
housing for the Lamar ranger and is a historic structure (one of four at the Buffalo
Ranch) on the National Register of Historic Places. It was constructed around the turn of
the century.
The Northeast Entrance Ranger Station is a National Historic
Landmark that was constructed in 1934-35.
