A CCC Classic

Young men seeking to escape economic hardship built this lodge from 1937-1940 as enrollees in the Civilian Conservation Corps, one of President Franklin Roosevelt's programs to combat the Great Depression. The CCC gave men immediate help through food, lodging, training, and much-needed income, while also creating long-term benefits through parks, roads, bridges, infrastructure, and recreational opportunities that still serve the country. Like most CCC buildings, the Table Rock Lodge uses local rock and timber, materials that were inexpensive, readily available, and well suited to a style that complements the natural surroundings. Fully restored in 2008, the lodge has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
