With the establishment of Mount Rainier National Park in 1899, Longmire became
park headquarters. The site had previously served as James Longmire's homestead,
lodging, and mineral springs resort. Although park headquarters are no longer at
Longmire, the original headquarters building houses a museum that tells the
story of the early days of the park. All of Longmire is now designated a
national historic district.
