South Dakota Civilian Conservation Corps Museum
CCC News~South Dakota CCC News

In conducting research for her books, Peggy met many wonderful gentlemen and listened to their stories of being in the CCC. Their memories and photos led to her first book relating to the Civilian Conservation Corps, Wind Cave National Park - The First 100 Years. Once her interest was piqued she wrote The Civilian Conservation Corps In and Around the Black Hills. These books led to a renewed interest in the CCC story and pride of the men who served. The result is the creation of the South Dakota Civilian Conservation Corps Museum in Hill City , South Dakota ! You can read more about the SDCCCM on her blog at: Peggy's CCC Blog Page. (And remember, you may purchase signed and personalized copies of the CCC books on the 'Order Books' page.)
The SDCCCM

The upper story of this building will soon house the South Dakota Civilian Conservation Corps Museum and its exhibits at Hill City, SD
Work will begin next week on the museum. Partial funding for this project is provided by a 2008 Deadwood Historical Grant, with donations being accepted. If you are interested in donating money or items, please email me.

"My Dad was a CCC" or, "My grandpa worked on a bridge in the Black Hills as a CCC member but I don't know where!" I've often heard families remark they've lost the history of their relatives service with the CCC's. Towards that end, I gathered 22,000 names and camp rosters. If you are looking for a former CCC member and information about his service, please email me. Hopefully I can provide the missing information. 28,000 young men served in the South Dakota CCC program from 1933 to 1942. If you have information you would like to share with me, or items you would like to donated to the South Dakota Civilian Conservation Corps Museum, please let me know.
Use this link to obtain CCC information. Because I am not next of kin, I cannot request this information. There is no charge for this information and the turn-around time is approximately 3 weeks. If the CCC member served in South Dakota, once you receive your reply, please send me a copy so I may include your CCC member in the South Dakota database. Thanks, Peggy
