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.
