Civilian Conservation Corps Company 1370

Near here is the site of CCC Company 1370 from 1935-1940. Among the most popular New Deal programs, the CCC was designed to encourage conservation of natural resources and employment training during the Great Depression. CCC 1370 enrollees were actively involved in soil erosion control and extensive reforestation efforts in this county.

Marker is at the intersection of Colonial Trail (U.S. 460) and CCC Road, on the right when traveling east on Colonial Trail.
