From 1933 to 1942 the Civilian Conservation Corps had more than 3.5 million enrollees, including 38,163 Kansas youth and veterans. The CCC left a legacy of improvements in our natural resources and infrastructure. This statue honors them for their diligence, hard work and outstanding accomplishments. Company #4755, composed of black veterans of WWI, constructed this lake from 1936 to 1939.
