| Description |
|
Weches Camp P-58-T was established by the Federal Civilian Conservation
Corps (CCC) in June 19, 1933. Manned by company 888, the Weches
camp was the first CCC camp established in Houston County. It contained
barracks, a mess hall, recreation area, post office and medical
infirmary. Camp enrollees helped restore and develop the Davy Crockett
National Forest and the Historic 118-acre San Francisco Mission
State Forest. They planted trees, built roads, developed park facilities
and erected log structures and fire observation towers. The camp
closed in November 1935.
Marker is located 1 mile west of Weches on SH 21.
