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.
