Built: 1939
Area: less than 1 acre
Date added to NRHP: 6/16/2006
Other designations: U.S. Historic District
Notes: The totem poles gathered in this park are recreated replicas of poles that once stood in settlements that had been abandoned by the Haida people. The poles were created under the supervision of Haida master carvers with labor from the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The CCC was a New Deal program that operated between 1933 and 1942. It provided work for unmarried, unemployed men who were struggling to find work during the Great Depression.
