Adams Ranger Station
Adams Camp served as a way station along the Milner Trail as early as 1862. The Forest Service established the area adjacent to Adams Camp as an administrative site in 1919. The old Adams Ranger's house was built in 1932, but has not been occupied since the 1960s. The Forest Service, along with partners, began renovation of this historic building in 2003. It has been available to the public for rental since 2008.
