Celebrate the CCC Legacy!
80th Anniversary of the Civilian Conservation Corps
CCC Day Saturday, July 13, 2013 11:00 am to 1:00pm
Ceremony at 11:00am
2013 is the 80th anniversary of the Civilian Conservation Corps. The last remaining CCC Camp Headquarters building in Massachusetts is located at Upton State Forest. DCR has chosen Upton to host the official celebration of the 80th anniversary on July 13. All are welcome.
Come honor the men who laid the cornerstone for the Massachusetts State Parks system, and enjoy a day of fun. A recognition ceremony will begin at 11:00 a.m., followed by a celebration at noon, with birthday cake and displays in the CCC Headquarters building. There will also be a camp tour, an authentic CCC truck, a ham radio booth, and other activities for young and old. Bring your own lunch and enjoy our picnic tables. At 1:00 p.m., you are invited to Hike Through History with us as we visit CCC sites in the forest. This is a moderate hike with a short and long option. You are welcome to come for all or any part of the day
