License Plate, U.S. Government

This metal license plate was used by Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) workers stationed at Chiricahua National Monument from 1933-1939. The CCC was one of many work programs created during the Great Depression. At Chiricahua National Monument the men of Camp NM-2-A, Company 828 built the majority of visitor and staff facilities in use today. These facilities include 12 miles of hiking trails, the park campground, the fire lookout, the Massai Point orientation station, the headquarters and museum, the maintenance yard, and much of the staff housing.
