CCC at Fullersburg: A Guided History Hike
Advertisement
Step back in time and explore the incredible legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps at Fullersburg Woods. Join us for a 2.5‑mile guided hike that highlights the trails, bridges, dams, and stonework built by CCC crews—comprised of World War I veterans—during the Great Depression.
Along the way, you’ll learn how these hardworking men transformed Fullersburg Woods into the beautiful preserve we enjoy today. From the iconic stone shelters and scenic overlook walls to the carefully crafted trail systems that still guide visitors through the forest, the CCC’s craftsmanship and conservation vision continue to shape the landscape more than 80 years later.
Discover the history behind their work, the challenges they faced, and the lasting impact of the CCC on both the land and the surrounding community.
Ages 16 and up; under 18 with an adult.
Fee: $10 per person.
