The historic Wade and Curtis Cabin at Gates of Lodore on Dinosaur National Monument has received funding for preservation work. “This funding from the Great American Outdoors Act is helping preserve the heritage of the Northeast Utah and Northwest Colorado region,” shares Monument Superintendent Paul Scolari. “We are fortunate to have skilled craftspeople lead this restoration effort and train the park team in historic construction techniques that will help us preserve history for current and future visitors. Without these critical repairs, the structural integrity, unique historic features of this cabin, and its role in Dinosaur’s history would be imminently lost.” Renovations include both the interior and exterior of the cabin. The work includes repairs to the roof, walls, windows, and foundation, the addition of new flooring, electrical outlets, exhibit lighting, an accessible walkway, and an improved drainage system.
