Coles County Civilian Conservation Corps

 

The Coles County Civilian Conservation Corps website is intended for educational use, primarily focused on elementary social studies classes.
The website teaches students about the C.C.C. in Charleston, Illinois and the Great Depression. Particular focus is paid to life in a C.C.C. camp and primary source documents. There are interactive aspects on the site for students to test their knowledge and utilize the information on the website. The site includes resources for both students to continue learning about the subject at hand and related topics, and for teachers to understand the related standards and provide feedback. More information can be found from our partners at the Lincoln Log Cabin website.
