Sault Ste Marie Guided Auto Tour

Overview

This self-guided tour will allow you to go back in time and/or memory to days of the "Great Depression," when folks were hungry and jobs were few. Young men looked to the newly created Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) as an opportunity to earn money to help feed their families. In creating the CCC, President Franklin D. Roosevelt saw it as a way to put such men to work and, at the same time, revitalize the country's ravaged natural resources. It was natural that much of the CCC work centered on National Forests like the Hiawatha (it was then the Marquette National Forest). On the Sault Ste. Marie Ranger District (then the Raco District) are a number of CCC sites, including camps, work projects and plantations.
