- Notes: The main building on this property originally functioned as a resort until it was converted into a museum in 1931. The resort as it originally existed was a much larger complex in its day, but the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) tore most of the existing buildings down when the property was purchased by the National Park Service. They were also responsible for building the existing amphitheater and making infrastructure improvements on the site, including the parking lot and drainage culverts, among other items. The CCC was a New Deal program that operated between 1933 and 1942. The program provided work for unmarried, unemployed men who were struggling to find work during the Great Depression.
