I believe the collection stayed there until the early 1980’s. When Jerry McCrea was hired. 

I think McCrea was here during the time that Pete Thompson was a ranger.

Yes. The museum was moved when this building was renovated in 1987. 

Any other questions? I think I have exhausted my train of thought. If other things come up, please don’t hesitate to ask or write. I will respond.
