Plans are in the works for a very exciting living history presentation later this year at one of the most iconic CCC sites: the world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO near Denver.
Though the music venue itself is known nationally and internationally, few are aware that the CCC camp which housed Company 1860, the builders of the venue, also survives in remarkably intact condition. Denver Parks has begun a program to rehabilitate the camp structures and open some of them to the public: https://denverite.com/2018/04/30/red-rocks-camp-rebuild/.
Denver Parks rangers are working with Mr. Mark Headlee to plan a reenactment of life in Veteran's Company 1860 at Red Rocks, with a tentative date in August 2019. This promises to be one of the most exciting CCC living history events of the year.
Details will be provided here as plans mature.
