Description
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Works Progress Administration (WPA) laborers worked together to build a bathhouse. The project spanned from 1933 till 1941. The project was abandoned by the New Deal agencies at the onset of World War II. The project was eventually completed by park workers. The remodeled bathhouse now serves as the park’s Nature Center.
