Historical Note

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a federal public work relief program to employ primarily young, unmarried men and teach them marketable skills during the Great Depression. Active between 1933 and 1942, CCC camps employed nearly 3 million men. In Wyoming, camp work included planting trees, building trails, fighting fires, and construction of picnic shelters, signs, and the museum at Guernsey State Park.

Jenny Lake is located in Teton County, Wyoming.
