Exhibit remembering the CCC: The buildings aross the canyon have served Carlsbad Caverns since the early 20th century. the prominent adobe and stucco houses illustrate the workmanship of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Built in the early 1940s these CCC structures blended easily into their surroundings. The CCC established in 1930 by President Franklin D Roosevelt, previded a lifeline of hope to the discouraged young men of the Great Depression. In the program, the CCC "boys" earned $30 a month, learned vocational skills, and earned high school diplomas. The CCC era ended with the onset of World War II, but the Corps' work on our public lands and notably in our national parks, remains as its legacy.
