Narrative
Even though original CCC Camp Wilderness is no longer there, there are plaques around the Courthouse. This was a site where hundreds of men got ready to fight in Civil Wars. The site now is built up, there are many stores around and traffic is high I still felt like this place was historic and a lace of honoring. I used my phone to document site, during the 1930s these camps and soldiers did not have the luxury to pull a cell out and call someone to talk.
