CCC WORKER HOUSES

These are not some restored structures from centuries ago but built by the Civilian Conservation Corps from the matching local rock during the 1930's to house workers in the area. From 1933 to 1942 the CCC over the course of it's existence employed over two an half million of mostly young men to work in over in over 4500 different camps planting trees, building roads etc. So many of the roads and some structures in our federal and state parks were built by CCC workers.
