Rim Village at Crater Lake National Park

Rim Village’s buildings, vegetation, roads, trails, and small-scale features incorporated 18th-century picturesque and 19th-century naturalistic theories of design, using the park’s indigenous stone, lumber, and native plants as basic materials. Rustic features at Rim Village represented the trend during the period of
significance to blend built structures with their surrounding environment, appearing hand-crafted or
primitive, as if created without the use of technology available at the time—preserving the surrounding
beauty of the landscape.
