Myakka River State Park 

Sarasota, Florida   

This park has much to thank the Roosevelt Administration for.

Marc- Launched in 1933 as part of President Roosevelt’s “New Deal” building programs during the Great Depression, the CCC employed hundreds of thousands of young men to shape the landscape. The program provided the opportunity for work during a time when there was none. The workers built parks, planted trees, and restored forests. The Visitors Center and visitor cabins, picnic pavilions, and the park roads were constructed by the CCC.

This is one of the cabins built by the CCC.

All of the logs are palm logs and the lower sill is copper.

More corner detailed work.

Beautiful work.
