Description
In 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built the Park Store building at South Higgins Lake State Park, which still stands.
It is “one of the many buildings constructed around Northern Michigan by during the depths of the Great Depression… and it has stood the test of time, but not without some periodic restoration.” (Reznich 2012)
The CCC undoubtedly did other improvements in the park, but we do not have details on that.
