The CCC was a federal works program created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during The Great Depression. During its nine-year run, over 76,000 men served in Tennessee. These men worked on soil erosion control, built check dams, fought forest fires, and built a dozen state parks including Great Smokies, Cumberland Mountain, Norris Dam, Pickett, Pickwick Landing, and Reelfoot Lake. There was a CCC camp located in Collierville, TN from 1935-1940.
