Civilian Conservation Corps Self-Guided Tour
The Bennett Spring State Park 1772 Civilian Conservation Corps created many structures at Bennett Spring State Park. Stop by the nature center and get a self-guided tour brochure Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The brochure will have a map and list of structures that were built between 1933 and 1937 in the park. The structures are within 2 miles' walking distance. The 1772 CCC consisted of more than 200 men who had served in the First World War. There is an exhibit display that has pictures and additional information about the men who razed many of the buildings that formed the core of the town of Brice, which is now Bennett Spring State Park. This map was created by a previous seasonal interpreter, Becky Day, who is a local resident.
