Great Smokey Mountain National Park
Visit

Much of the early development of facilities and restoration of early settlers' buildings in the park were done by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), an agency created during the Depression to provide work and wages for unemployed young men. The CCC worked from 1933 to 1942 when World War II finally shut the program down. Many of the trails, campgrounds, and the beautiful stone bridges and buildings are examples of their work.
