Davis Bayou, MS
In the 1930's, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) were tasked with creating recreation areas around the United States. The 1437th Company, comprised of ~200 men, moved to Ocean Springs from Quitman, Mississippi on May 23, 1938 to start work June 20, 1938. The company built a total of 10 buildings to be used by the men while stationed here. The buildings consisted of four barracks, a mess hall, a bath, an office, a supply, officer’s quarters, and a recreation building.
In front of you on the trail is presumable leftover framework from the CCC's time here. From this point onward all remnants seem to be of similar design. Please make sure to watch your step while walking.
