Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center
The Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center is a day-use facility located in the Paradise area of Mount Rainier National Park. The facility offers exhibits, films, guided ranger programs, a book store, a snack bar, a gift shop, and public restrooms, as well as informational brochures and maps.〔(Mount Rainier National Park - Paradise (U.S. National Park Service) )〕
The first Jackson Visitor Center opened in 1966 as part of the National Park Service's Mission 66 program. Originally known as the Paradise Visitor Center, it was renamed in 1987〔(Mt. Rainier National Park Centennial Timeline 1960s )〕 after the death of Senator Henry M. Jackson, who had been instrumental in the development of the program at Mt. Rainier.〔 Construction of a new Jackson Visitor Center was completed in 2008, and the original building was demolished in the spring of 2009.
==History==
Mount Rainier was a pilot park in the Mission 66 program to expand National Park visitor services. The plans for the Paradise Visitor Center as a day-use facility came about as a compromise when the program was still trying to determine whether overnight lodging would be feasible. Construction began in 1964, and facilities were to include a restaurant, museum, information center, ski rental shop, and a warming hut. By the time construction was completed in 1966, costs had grown to US$2 million.〔(Mount Rainier National Park: Wonderland:An Administrative History (Chapter 16) )〕
