Revitalizing Michigan CCC Museum Bridges Past and Present
The CCC Museum at North Higgins Lake State Park Roscommon County, built by alumni in 1985, preserves the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps impact. The Michigan History Center redesigned exhibits in 2018 highlighting diverse enrollees, mapped camp locations, and CCC gear. Phase two will expand space for videos and CCC research. the Higgins Lake Nursery area will host forestry research with MSU and DNR, and Trail connections extend toward Hartwick Pines along the Iron Belle Trail.
