Shadow Mtn tower: The Shadow Mountain Fire Lookout was once an active station in the area's fire management plan. Following restoration, the site now stands as a historical marker, rewarding diligent hikers with a magnificent view.

Rocky Mountain Heritage Fund
Dozens of historic buildings dot Rocky Mountain National Park. Even more can be found in the neighboring communities and adjacent national forest. This is where our historical heritage comes to life. These are reminders of generations past.

As stewards of history, the Rocky Mountain Nature Association has already restored many significant buildings, including the William Allen White cabins, the Shadow Mountain Fire Lookout, various buildings at the Holzwarth and McGraw Ranches, the famous Wigwam Tearoom and Moraine Park Museum, just to name a few.

Each year the RMNA and RMNP select special buildings needing help. Only through the hands-on strategies of repair, restoration and adaptive use will these buildings be saved and this important history be conveyed to coming generations.

Wigwam Tearoom: Anna Wolfram's historic tearoom, known as the Wigwam Tearoom, was a popular social spot in the early 1900s. The main tearoom and homestead buildings are being stabilized and considered for future adaptive use by the National Park Service.

Holzworth Trout Lodge - Mama cabin: The restored Mama cabin is one of many buildings that make up the Holzworth Trout Lodge Historic site. This collection of buildings is currently being used by the park to engage visitors in the history of the scenic Kawuneeche Valley.
