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.
Constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936, these there sandstone cabins were to accommodate travelers going along the old Arrowhead Trail, one of the first interstate roadways built in the country that cut through the Valley of Fire. The cabins, which are now unused are National Park Rustic in design, with lots of pueblo influences.
