The swimming hole and roads were all constructed by CCC workers. <br />Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-76805040088590419522013-06-26T17:45:52.685-07:002013-06-26T17:45:52.685-07:00I enjoyed comparing your photos to the photos that...I enjoyed comparing your photos to the photos that I've been posting on my blog from my dad's CCC album from Campton, NH! The bunks look the same and the dining hall table looks the same, but the color really makes it all seem so much more real. Thank you for posting this. Now I want to to visit Bear Brook!

It gave jobs to 3 million men who built roads and preserved parks. Today we need roads and bridges repaired and transportation systems updated. We need this badly! <br /><br />For most people the CCC is a distant and vague memory, and I think you are doing a great service by bringing back the memories and the reality of it to our minds in the present day. It worked so well! It was well organized. I hope people will become more aware.

There was still a sign up for them at the park, and that is down the same road where the AmeriCorps students were living. Perhaps the AmeriCorps took over those area? Just a guess.Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-20165516949218982102013-06-24T15:47:13.127-07:002013-06-24T15:47:13.127-07:00I loved these childrens camps as a kid.

I went to the auction a while back when they closed Bear Brook camp but only came away with an old bench from one of the cabins. Did they do anything with the camps since their closure to kids groups?

We swam, boated or fished there almost year round.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146603541490909833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-62870174256642385572013-06-24T04:52:21.744-07:002013-06-24T04:52:21.744-07:00A very interesting post -- and another worthwhile ...A very interesting post -- and another worthwhile series/project on Nutfield Genealogy! I have not visited the museum at Bear Brook, but I have seen many other CCC projects in parks. I am always very impressed with the stone workmanship and the fact that the structures have aged so well in most cases. I look forward to more posts in this new series!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139639019457759712noreply@blogger.com
