Summary

Firewood/Trash Stone Enclosures

Platt National Park was an almost immediate beneficiary of money and manpower pumped into civil construction under Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal. Within weeks of the federal authorization of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) program on April 5, 1933 a CCC camp had been authorized for Platt National Park. By the end of May, 169 young men enrollees of CCC Camp 808 had set up residence in tents in the southeastern corner of the park.
