Notes
  • Significance: The Fernow Experimental Forest residence, built in 1934 by members of Camp Parsons Civilian Conservation Corps, was one of the original administrative buildings for the Fernow Experimental Forest Branch Station, a part of the Appalachian Forest Experimental Station, headquartered in Ashville, NC. The staff of the Experimental Forest studied watershed and timber management on the nearby Elk Lick Run watershed. Closed from 1941 until 1948, this building was reoccupied by the head of the local staff of the reorganized Northeastern Forest Experimental Station. In 1964, the name was again changed to the Parsons Timber and Watershed Laboratory. The Fernow Experimental Forest is the only experimental forest in the Monongahela National Forest.
