In April 2014, we posted an article about work buildings and encampments from the 1930's in the western half of Exeter. They were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a national program aimed at bringing jobs to an economy devastated by the Great Depression.
Here's another article written by Exeter Historical Association Vice President Gary Boden about one particular CCC building at Escoheag Hill: the Overlook Shelter. We're posting this piece on another snowy day of a colossally snowy winter as we anticipate a Spring day just around the bend when we can visit this structure.
