Fowler’s State Park and the Works Progress Administration

Fowler’s State Park is another example of the good work done to heal clearcut land and create wild spaces during the Great Depression. Located in south-central Pennsylvania, it is a 104-acre state park now, but was leveled in the first decade of the 20th century by a lumber company. Thanks to the Works Progress Administration, Fowler’s Hollow now is a remote, tranquil forest that is enjoyed by campers and hikers alike.
