In 1933, the country was in the grips of the Great Depression. Millions were out of work and hungry. As part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, 500,000 unemployed young men were put to work in forests, parks, and rangelands across the country. Thus the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was born.
Visit the Museum to learn more about the CCC, the Original 6 Virginia State Parks, and the creation of Pocahontas State Park. The CCC Museum is open Friday-Sunday from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. Visit the Museum anytime virtually, to see how the CCC created what is now Pocahontas State Park.
