A Moment in Time

A Moment in Time. . You're a witness to history! , This photo, taken from the exact location where you are standing, shows CCC Boys lined up for roll-call, as well as a bugler, company officers, a flagpole and at least six buildings in the background (look carefully; many are hidden, back in the trees). While only fragmentary evidence of these buildings has been found, it is clear from this photo they were here., This photo appears to have been taken in the very early days of the Camp (if not at its 1935 commissioning ceremony), because most of the trees still remained, later photos of the camp show all but the largest trees removed, with much more open area between buildings., As you walk through the camp site today, notice how the trees have grown back in the years since the camp was abandoned in 1938. Try to imagine yourself taking a stroll through the camp as the bugler's call announced the raising of the colors, and the men of Company 1475 went about their daily routines., As in the military, order and precision were values instilled in the young men of the CCC. These values were on display throughout the camp, from the carefully placed upright stones (above) bordering the path to the camp's headquarters building, to the neat rows of white posts (below) marking the edges of the camp's perimeter road.
