There’s a name for the paint color of rustic cabins you find in 7000 or so acres of French Creek State Park. It’s called CCC brown, as in Civilian Conservation Corps.

And it is still used today in French Creek State Park in Union Township, along with timber from its forest, milled at the Historic Johanna Sawmill nearby.

The colors and architecture were chosen to help people enjoy the natural environment around them.

At French Creek State Park, they are trying to keep Civilian Conservation Corps history. Reading Eagle, 7/24/2020.
