The Museum of the National Park Ranger is a former US Army outpost that now functions as a visitors center and hosts exhibits that celebrate the park ranger profession. The museum is staffed by volunteer retired rangers who are very knowledgeable on the history of the service!
Madison Valley Veterans' Memorial in Ennis is unique because it is the only memorial in the Nation that commemorates all those who honorably served during times of war or peace, living or deceased, and resident or nonresident. It is a beautiful tribute to Americans who have served their country.
