Description
Some of these buildings may pre-date the New Deal, but between 1933 and 1939, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) engaged in considerable lumber milling activity while encamped here, and weekly built some of the sheds, at least (They built lumber sheds in a hundred of other state forests: Mogen-Monroe, Jackson, Harrison.) Some of the buildings may be post-WWII. They are difficult to document.
