USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center Log Lodge Construction Photographs. Special Collections, USDA National Agricultural Library.

The USDA Beltsville (Maryland) Agricultural Research Center (BARC) Visitor Center was built between 1934 and 1937 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The building was modeled after lodges in Yellowstone National Park, and was popularly known as the Log Lodge. All logs and lumber used in the building came from trees growing on the BARC farm property. The Log Lodge was used for recreational purposes by the CCC until the corps was disbanded in 1942. After that, the lodge was converted into a cafeteria, and it continued in use for that purpose until 1985. It served as the BARC Visitor Center until 2011.
