The Lochsa Historical Ranger Station is located along U.S. Highway 12 in the Lochsa River drainage, approximately 48 miles east of Kooskia, Idaho. From 1925 to the late 1950s, the station was utilized as a backcountry Ranger Station by the Forest Service. It served as the administrative hub for a system of fire lookouts, smoke chaser cabins, and other remote Forest Service facilities linked together by a system of pack trails and telephone lines. In 1976, the station was formally dedicated as an interpretive site, as part of the nation's Bicentennial Celebration. The station is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The visitor center, located within the Alternate Ranger's cabin, is a shady oasis on a hot summer day. The mix of conifers and Locust trees provide a pleasant rest stop for the weary traveler.
The Historical Ranger Station is located at mile marker 121.5 on U.S. Hwy 12 between Wilderness Gateway Campground and Fish Creek River Access.

In 1861, gold was discovered in the small creeks and gulches of Florence, Idaho (approximately 50 miles south of where Grangeville Idaho resides today). Miners soon began trickling into the area, and what started as a small tent city of 50 residents turned into a bustling city of 9,000 by the following year. Today, visitors can visit the famous Florence cemetery where many of the more unsavory and interesting residents of the old town were buried, as well as walk the site where the town originally stood. Interpretive panels at the site explain the history of the area and display a map of the surrounding area. There is a parking area and footbridge leading to the historic cemetery.
