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

Sign in front of station

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]
