Furnace Creek Visitor Center Reopens to the Public Amidst Partial Government Shutdown

Thanks to a donation made by the Death Valley Natural History Association, the Furnace Creek Visitor Center reopened to the public on Sunday December 30th, 2018. The Furnace Creek Visitor Center had been closed since the start of the partial government shutdown on December 22nd. DVNHA’s donation covers expenses associated with utilities, rangers, and custodial supplies and staff required to keep the facility open to the public until at least January 10, 2019.

“Our purpose as an organization is to serve the resources and public at Death Valley National Park. Providing basic staffing for visitors to get initial orientation and information is at the heart of why we exist. We’re honored to partner in this time of need,” said Death Valley Natural History Association Executive Director David Blacker. To download the full DVNHA Press Release via pdf click here.
