National Grasslands Visitors Center To Close For Renovations
CHADRON, Neb. (AP) — The National Grasslands Visitors Center in South Dakota is scheduled to close for renovations.
The U.S. Forest Service says the facility in Wall, South Dakota, will close starting May 4, and could remain closed until early July. Employees will be moved to the Wall District Ranger Office, and public services will be limited to visitor information and map sales.
Renovations are planned for both the visitors’ center and the Wall District Ranger Office. The renovations include an energy efficient ventilation system and windows. The building’s interior will get new drywall, finishes and lighting.
The National Grasslands Visitors Center will be reroofed with new cedar shingle roofing and the existing redwood siding will be refinished to return the wood to its original natural color.
