Ninemile Remount Depot - Long Version - Historic Ranger Station – near Missoula, Montana MT

The Ninemile Remount Depot was established in the 1930s and was designed after U.S. Army Cavalry depots that supplied fresh horses to the troops. The Ninemile Remount Depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its role as a Forest Service Remount Depot and its distinctive “Cape Cod” style architecture.

Early forest firefighting efforts in the rugged wilderness areas of the west were assisted by experienced packers and pack animals. They delivered needed supplies to the active fire camps throughout the roadless areas of the Northern Rockies.

This is a working ranger station in the Lolo National Forest. Fire engines have replaced mule pack trains for fire suppression efforts via Forest Service roads. Smokejumpers and mules are still used for backcountry fire-fighting efforts.
