#548 Historical Marker Inscription
In the summer of 1933, military veterans in Company V-1680 of the Civilian Conservation Corps improved the banks of Allen Creek here, planted trees, and did soil conservation work on nearby farms. They camped at the old County Fair Grounds south of town. The CCC was a national work relief program during the Great Depression.
