History Talk: The CCC and Nevada’s State Parks

Date

Saturday, August 24th, 2019 – Saturday, August 24th, 2019

Time

11:30 am – 12:00 pm

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) played an instrumental role in the creation of Nevada’s State Park system as a whole in the 1930s. This ranger-led talk will cover the impressive array of projects completed by the CCC crews that were tasked with creating destinations for outdoor recreation in beautiful, yet fairly remote corners of the Silver State. We will also discuss projects completed by the CCC in the Carson Valley area, and attempts to have the CCC reconstruct Mormon Station.

WHEN: Saturday, August 24, 11:30 a.m. - 12 p.m.


Nevada State Parks is committed to providing accessible experiences for all visitors.
