In July 1967, work parties from the Tamarack Farm and Wilderness Camp in Plymouth Union Vermont began work building a new shelter, on the site of the previous Battell Shelter.  Part of a work service project in cooperation with the Green Mountain National Forest, supplies provided by the US Forest Service were airlifted in, where camp counselors supervised campers in the construction.  Section volunteers would return to complete this typical wood-frame shelter.

Initially, a seasonal caretaker was placed there to educate and assist hikers, and a fee was charged for overnight use. Being a high elevation site, water could be had from a small spring 100 ft. to the east, woodfires were prohibited, and tenting was limited.
