An hour or so west of DC, Shenandoah was forever immortalized in a Broadway musical. Which of these events is rooted deeply in the history of that National Park?
Answer It housed the first Civilian Conservation Corps camp
On December 27, 1935, Shenandoah was established and the Civilian Conservation Corps quickly began to make the trails and roads in the park. Two years earlier, the CCC set up the first camp in the park in the Skyland area. The altitudes in Shenandoah range from 530 feet to 4,049 feet.
