“ Park staff can now use the saw for many projects. It’ s a useful tool,” adds Stephenson.
A large 36’ x 42’ concrete slab was poured in spring of 2013. It provided a firm footing for the plant sale that year, but the sale still required the use of a large Division of State Parks white tent. While the tent provided an eye-catching landmark for many park events, it had to be secured from another property, requiring pick-up, set up / take down, and return.
Since fall of 2014, two classes met daily with Mr. Todd who conferred frequently with Friends members

Classes required instruction on how to use safety measures with various tools, construct and set rafters, and apply shingles. Hopes are these students will learn an important trade that will help in career plans.“ I believe the boys learned a lot”, says Todd.
“ That is similar to how the CCC boys were honored,” said a long-time visitor and granddaughter of a CCC worker, viewing the structure this summer.“ My granddad took me to a park where he worked with the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. He was so happy and proud of the work they did.”
Perhaps the high school students can return to this shelter someday to show their families the work they completed when in the class. In the meantime, watch for Friends events and park programs held at this impressive structure.“ It is a wonderful place to offer programs to our visitors”, says Kevin Snyder, the park’ s Assistant Property Manager.“ It will be a nice gift to the citizens of Indiana as we celebrate Indiana State Parks centennial in 2016.” •
