As the sign reads:
Civilian Conservation Corps
Roosevelt's New Deal included Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Begun in 1933, the Corps employed men throughout the U.S. building roads and dams, and planting trees for flood control. Jobless boys ages 18-25 received three meals a day and usually $30.00 a month (most of which went to dependents). By 1941, 2 million youths had participated.
The other side of the sign reads:
CCC at Cumberland Falls
Some 80,000 Kentuckians served in Civilian Conservation Corps. Three camps located in area (Companies 509, 563, and 1578). All helped develop Cumberland Falls State Park, blazing foot trails, drawing maps, and erecting cabins. Men also built DuPont Lodge; original log structure had 26 rooms, kitchen, and dining room. Lodge and cabins dedicated and given to Ky., 1934.

Along the way we stopped back by the registration office to get a couple of maps and a Coke. Inside they had some exhibits about the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corp). In the prism of my readings what I saw was a bit chilling.
The men employed in the CCC were not some massive, ideologically motivated youthful volunteer force. They were, in effect, economic refugees joined together and employed by the same government that could arguably be shown to have exacerbated the economic conditions that put them there. One should not forget these men had jobs and skills prior to their service in the CCC.
Having said that, their work in the CCC cannot be overlooked nor trivialized. They worked hard and accomplished much. My own Grandfather served in their ranks.
I merely hope that I was not looking into the future.
This was my first participation. Janet has now received my card so here it is. You can visit my blog for more details.

TFL
In May of 1933, Governor McAllister proclaimed a large part of the prison lands as Morgan State Forest to be managed by the Forestry Division. Shortly afterwards, a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp was established on the Forest. Inasmuch as forest fires and trespass protection was of primary importance, a lookout tower was erected on Frozen Head Mountain. Fire control roads and trails were constructed, the boundaries surveyed and marked and a ranger's headquarters was built along Flat Fork Creek. The CCC camp disbanded in 1941 at the onset of W.W.II.
