One of the Florida state parks (which was CCC built) has a really nice CCC
museum and annual reunion in Sebring, FL They have a book with every site in
the states listed - it is pretty interesting. The building reminds me a great
deal of Camp Splinter - guess the plans were pretty much the same all over the
country.
This may be old information for you but thought I would pass it along just in
case.
I don't know that they would have any information specific to the two sites
in Nicholas County but it can't hurt to ask. I know they have a list of CCC
members and they may be able to tell you who if any of them work in WV.
They can be contacted through the state park:
Highlands Hammock State Park
5931 Hammock Road
Sebring, FL 33872
863-386-6094
Hope this helps with the search for CCC info.

warm feeling of coming home when we top the hill and start down into town. I
have to say that I do miss the smell of coal smoke.)

A correction for you. Just a minor detail Woodbine is also north of Richwood.
