Petrified Forest National Monument was established in 1906 in recognition of its outstanding natural and prehistoric resources. Redesignated a National Park in 1962, Petrified Forest continues to serve as a premier location for conducting scientific inquiry and research, while inspiring visitors with its natural wonders and cultural artifacts. Originally an isolated outpost with limited access, Petrified Forest National Park (PEFO) has become a heavily visited destination situated along a major interstate highway. With increased visitation came several significant periods of development, the most recent in the early 1960s, that brought new visitor, educational and residential facilities to the park. Like the park's natural and prehistoric cultural resources, these buildings, structures and designed landscapes are expressions unique to Petrified Forest National Park. Reflecting the different planning and design principles, environmental factors and economic conditions that have been influential in the development of Petrified Forest National Park, these buildings and landscapes have recently been recognized as historic and worthy of preservation.
