1. Cabin Area C & Caretaker's Cabin Marker
Five cabin areas were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in Letchworth State Park. The northernmost of these was Cabin Area C, whose slab-sided cabins were constructed by men from Gibsonville Camp 40 in 1934-35. Near the entrance to the new cabin area they also built the Caretaker's House," the large five room cabin that stands today. The Caretaker's House and five of the original C cabins are still in use more than 80 years later.
Only cabin renters are permitted in the cabin area.
This sign is part of the Letchworth State Park CCC Legacy Pathway honoring the Civilian Conservation Corps (19331942), a federal works project designed to relieve unemployment and conserve natural resources during the Great Depression.
