Great video! my family had a state owned cabin part of the CCC up in Lyman Run. it was also a POW camp during the war. My grandfather was in the CCC. always have been fascinated about those camps

thank you for sharing. i am researching my deoarted wife"s family legacy. i met her afyter her dad died. he lost a brother in the first w orld war in 1917. jane" s dad was a younger brother. he served in the civilian conservation corps. i believe here in connecticut. jane had a picture of her dad working doing trail work with peavey to roll logs. he also served near the end ww2 1945-1946 in the us army air force. he swas a electric winch technician to rescue allied planes and crews off the us territory island nation guam. he served and was awarded a victory medal. he never had much money yet he was handy with tools and camp like building. he had the can do attitude that we need more of. my father in law who i never met in person. is special. his name is lloyd wright beebe of connecticut. i guess when you have the taste of hard work in a ccc camp it never leaves you. you learn to be resourceful and of high moral fiber.

My grandfather, Hiram Wood of Canton, PA, provided haircuts to the men at the Masten, Pennsylvania CCC camp. He did not have a car so the Army provided him with a lift. From Wiki: Masten is located in Cascade and McNett Townships in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, United States. It was a lumber mill company town from 1905 to 1930, served as the site of a Civilian Conservation Corps camp from 1933 to 1940, and the last family left it in 1941. Since then it has been a ghost town and the site serves as the trailhead for the Old Loggers Path, a loop hiking trail.

Glad to see you're still carrying on the espirit de corps of the CCC. You probably know more about this organization and its working than anyone else in the country (at least in PA). Keep up the good work.

Good Job John. Very interesting
