Summary
Have you ever walked across a stone dam at Devil’s Den, hiked trails at Mount Nebo, or stayed in Mather Lodge at Petit Jean? Then you’ve already seen the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps in Arkansas—even if you didn’t know its name. During the Great Depression, the CCC gave thousands of young men a job, skills, and purpose while transforming Arkansas’ parks, forests, and roads. From building lodges, cabins, and bridges to planting millions of trees and creating lakes, their work still shapes how we explore the state today. This episode shares the remarkable legacy of the CCC in Arkansas, including stories of segregation, education, and the lasting impact on landscapes you may visit every day. #arkansas #history #podcast #arkansashistorypodcast #CCC #ArkansasHistory #CivilianConservationCorps #HistoricParks #GreatDepression
