Civilian Cinservation Corp

There was a Civilian Conservation Corp(CCC) camp located in Bethel from 1933 to 1942.

A New Deal program, the CCC was a public work relief program (1933–1942) established by Franklin D. Roosevelt to provide employment for millions of young men during the Great Depression. It focused on environmental conservation, planting over two billion trees, fighting fires, and building infrastructure in national/state parks. Enrollees earned $30 each month with most of it sent home to support their families.
