The craft lodges in Cabin Camp 1, Prince William Forest Park, Virginia.’ NPS Photo ‘Four of the five cabin camps in Prince William Forest Park are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Each camp is composed of group of wood, stone, and brick structures constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Progress Administration workers of the Great Depression. The camps were built as summer camps that the government hoped would instill the poor children of Washington, DC with the 'character and health-building' benefits of the great outdoors. ... Cabin Camp 1 was the first camp completed by the CCC. It sleeps 151 visitors. Its dining hall and craft lodges are some of the best examples of rustic architecture in the park. Stone foundations and fireplaces and whole log supports showcase the beautiful native materials used by the CCC in construction.’ https://www.nps.gov/prwi/planyourvisit/group-cabin-camping.htm 16.3.21

‘Fire Fighting. Civilian Conservation Corps enrollees on the fire line in a big forest fire in the west. During the first seven years of its operation, April 1933-1940, the CCC spent more than 5 1/2 million man-days in fighting forest fires. This is an arduous job calling for coordinated effort, obedience, and courage. An additional 5 million man-days was spent in fire prevention and pre-suppression work.’ 1933. http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/archives/collections/franklin/index.php?p=digitallibrary/thumbnails&subjectid=6

The #CivilianConservationCorps was formed on #ThisDayInHistory in 1933 and ran until 1942. Young men were hired to build infrastructure on rural public lands, such as in #NationalParks, and had to send most of the money earned home to families suffering in the #GreatDepression.

Every POS on this planet is trying to squeeze Pennie’s out of every transaction. To paraphrase Old Joe Campbell (you know the guy who inspired #StarWars ) “The #GreatDepression was a time when people came together and helped each other out. It was a time of connection.”
