McMillan Woods CCC camp information


The McMillan Woods CCC camp was Civilian Conservation Corps camp NP-2[1] on the Gettysburg Battlefield planned in September 1933 [1] near CCC Camp Renaissance in Pitzer Woods (camp NP-1). Captain Francis J. Moran moved from Camp Renaissance to become the new camp NP-2 commander in October 1933[2] (supervisors under Superintendent Farrell included Charles Heilman in 1936,[2] and Major Renn Lawrence was the 1937 CCC sub-district commander.)[3] The camp opened a new recreation hall in 1934 [4] and provided manpower for building the veterans camp for the 1938 Gettysburg reunion,[3] and about 50 enrollees of CCC Company #1355-C served as aides for unaccompanied veterans.[5] During the reunion, Company F of the 34th Infantry used the CCC camp and had a headquarters office under Major C. Gilchrist (executive officer of the "regular army camp")[4] and Capt. E. E. Wright.[6] Captain Frederick L. Slade was the CCC commander on April 1, 1939.[7]

In 1939, the McMillan Woods CCC camp became the 1st under an "all colored staff" when the white supervisory personnel transferred to the Blue Knob CCC camp[8] (the camp's singing quartet made public appearances in 1939.)[9] The camp worked on Jones Battalion avenue and constructed a new walkway on Big Round Top.[5] The commander in 1940 was Captain Webb, and in March 1942, the McMillan Woods CCC camp was to be abandoned [10] (the facility became the 1944-5 World War II POW camp at Gettysburg.)
