Work of the CCC Traditional Cache

This cache is placed at Highlands Hammock State Park

The park is open from 8 am until sunset, 365 days a year.

A state park entrance fee is required.

The CCC workers worked on fences and roads, cleared land and planted trees and other plants, and constructed buildings.  All of the original buildings in the Hammock were built by the CCC, which include the refreshment buildings, museum [which was formally the auditorium], the resident area, the picnic areas, and a greenhouse.  They did more than just build the buildings.  They constructed them with timber harvested with their own hands right out of the Hammock’s land and installed all electric wiring and plumbing.  Due to the start of World War II, the CCC Camp closed on November 30, 1941
