| On March 31, 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed legislation creating the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). It quickly became the most popular government program of the Great Depression. The first young CCC men arrived at the Grand Canyon on May 29, 1933. During their time at the park, they were responsible for building miles of trails and creating much of the park infrastructure that is still used by visitors today. In celebration of the 75th anniversary of the CCC and to commemorate the important contribution of these young men to the Grand Canyon, the National Park Service at Grand Canyon National Park in cooperation with the Grand Canyon Association, will open an exhibit at Kolb Studio. |
