The Bergland Administrative Site, also known as the Bergland Ranger Station, is a government administrative complex consisting of six buildings located along M-28 in Bergland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005,[1] and currently houses the Bergland Cultural & Heritage Center and the The Bergland/Matchwood Historical Society Museum.[2]
History
The Bergland Ranger Station was built in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and was one of the first administrative offices built in the Ottawa National Forest.[3] However, when the ranger staff expanded to cover environmental monitoring and recreation, the site became obsolete, and it was no longer used.[4]
The Ottawa National Forest partnered with the Bergland Cultural & Heritage Center and The Bergland/Matchwood Historical Society Museum, who use the buildings on the site.[2] In 2009, the Museum moved into the ranger house and garage. The Cultural & Heritage Center uses the office and the remainder of the buildings.[2]
