Leading America out of the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt implemented programs to give citizens jobs that improved our nation's infrastructure: adding schools, roads, parks and, yes, bridges! One such building program was the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).

In creating Paris Mountain State Park and scores of other parks across America, CCC men used easy-to-get, cost-effective materials plus design principles that produced a look now called "parkitecture." Notice how this bridge is made of local stone and wood so that it harmonizes with its surroundings. Throughout our parks, watch for this look and appreciate the work of the CCC!
