Buckeye Station was built in 1797 by General Nathaniel Massie, a surveyor and early Ohio settler, who lived there for a brief time. It is located just east of Manchester, Ohio, in the uplands overlooking the Ohio River. Massie founded several towns in Ohio, including nearby Manchester, Ohio as well as the state's first capital Chillicothe. Massie leased the property to John Moore for a time, and then sold it to his brother-in-law Charles Willing Byrd. [2]
The original house on the property was a c. 1791 log cabin called Buckeye Station because it was constructed of buckeye timber. It was built near Massie Station, a stockaded village established by Massie that later became Manchester. The log cabin was replaced by the current one-and-half story L-shaped house in 1797. [3]
Today Buckeye Station is a crumbling ruin. It stands in the shadow of a cell phone tower, in a patch of woods, near a large agricultural field. [2] A historical marker is located to the south on highway 52.

Located near Jenny Lake, the buildings are a mixture of purpose-built structures and existing buildings that were adapted for use by the National Park Service. The ranger station was built as a cabin by Lee Mangus north of Moose, Wyoming about 1925 and was moved and rebuilt around 1930 for Park Service use. A store was built by a concessioner, and comfort stations were built to Park Service standard plans. All buildings were planned to the prevailing National Park Service Rustic style, although the ranger station and the photo shop were built from parts of buildings located elsewhere in the park.
