The Fenn Ranger Station, located on the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, is a historic ranger station complex built by the Civilian Conservation Corps 1936 – 1941. Its distinctive architectural elements in combination with its surrounding landscape architecture provide one of the most historically important and most elaborate ever-built ranger station complexes within the National Forest System lands. The station, positioned on a gentle slope above the Selway River, was originally named Goddard Bar Ranger Station. In 1938 the station was re-named Fenn Ranger Station for Major Frank A. Fenn. Fenn was a prominent Idaho military man, politician, and lawyer who played a large role in the establishment of the Forest Service in Idaho.
