CCC Picnic Shelter
The Civilian Conservation Corps built this picnic shelter in the 1930s, long before Congress established Theodore Roosevelt National Park in 1978.
Much of the park has its origins in a Depression-era program that purchased marginal and submarginal lands as a form of relief to ranchers and farmers facing bankruptcy from the agricultural depression. Some of those lands ended up in the national grassland system, including the Little Missouri National Grassland. Other lands ended up as part of the national park, which is mostly surrounded by Little Missouri NG.
