Description
This photograph shows Camp Monticello, the CCC camp that was located near Boswell's Tavern. Camp Monticello was begun in 1939 to provide work for men ages 18-25 during the Great Depression and existed until WWII. Most of the workers at Camp Monticello came to Louisa from Pennsylvania, though the camp did provide work for local men as well. The work consisted of clearing forest trails, fighting fires, and stringing and repairing farm fences.
