| Description: | Visitor Center: The Visitor Center was constructed in 1937 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a program designed to provide work for unemployed men during the Great Depression. Enrollees were young men between the ages of 18 and 25 whose families were on federal relief. They agreed to send $25 of their $30 monthly paycheck home to support their families, and they received room, board, clothing, and technical training.
The Visitor Center was built and designed to resemble the classic National Park Service rustic architecture. It is listed under the National Register of Historic Places. Make sure to stop and check it out during your visit. The Civilian Conservation Corps was not only responsible for the Visitor Center, but also for other structures and some trails in the Park. In the summer and fall, interpretive talks are offered by the National Park Service rangers. At the campground amphitheater, evening campfire programs are given daily through Labor Day. |
