A new book which includes not just Dan White's film career but highlights his time in the CCC at the first camp in Sebring, but recounts the author's visit to Highlands Hammock and the museum. Dan's grandson, John, gifted the museum one of Dan's last official headshots - the one on the cover. Can be ordered from Amazon and possibly available in the Camp Store at a later date.

A great tribute to our great friend, Darrel Smith.

When President Franklin D. Roosevelt was pulling America out of the Great Depression in 1930 by recruiting 3 million young men to become a part of the Civilian Conservation Corps

A great scout group from St. Cloud visited the museum on Saturday. Well behaved and very interested in the history of the CCC, the depression and the park. Thanks for spending time with us.
