Civilian Conservation Corps Quarrying Stone in Appomattox Court House Landscape, 1941

A group of men in work clothes hammer and shovel stone from a hillside into a truckbed.

The Appomattox Court House National Historic Monument was officially designated on April 10, 1940. Work in the park began that same year, as a Civilian Conservation Corp company stabilized structures and cleared vegetation. They also quarried stone near the Plain Run Branch for use in the construction of a bypass to take State Route 24 out of the village.
