The cabins and other facilities are alive and well at Monte Sano State Park. The website (see above) is the official park page and features a number of photos and a video history of the park. We have a small CCC museum on the park that was a join project of volunteers, the City of Huntsville, the State of Alabama and vendors/contractors who either provided resources and services free of charge or at cost. The Park manager has more information.
