Starved Rock State Park: The Work of the CCC Along the I&m CanalVisitors to Starved Rock State Park are often struck by the grandeur of its rustic lodge. They marvel at its massive fireplace and hand hewn logs. Yet few realize that this structure is a tangible reminder of the Civilian Conservation Corps, which in the 1930s provided work for young men left unemployed by the Great Depression.

Visitors to Starved Rock State Park are often struck by the grandeur of its rustic lodge. They marvel at its massive fireplace and hand-hewn logs. Yet few realize that this structure is a tangible reminder of the Civilian Conservation Corps, which in the 1930s provided work for young men left unemployed by the Great Depression. Starved Rock Lodge was one of the biggest projects of the "CCC boys" along the Illinois and Michigan Canal, but it was far from the only one. Working as a team and living in camps from Willow Springs to La Salle-Peru, they built facilities that transformed the old canal into what became the I&M Canal State Trail (1974) and the nation's first National Heritage Corridor (1984). President Franklin D. Roosevelt's nation-wide program preserved the landscape from the ravages of soil erosion, flooding, and deforestation. In the process, the young men built beautiful parks, buildings, and shelters that we use and admire today.

Completely Changed the Way I See Money!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This book is far more than just a read about finances; it’s a masterclass in financial education that can truly change your life. From the very first page, Robert Kiyosaki challenges you to think differently: stop working just for money and learn how to make money work for you. I loved how he contrasts the lessons from his “Rich Dad” and “Poor Dad,” and how each story leaves you with practical lessons you can apply immediately. The 25th Anniversary Edition includes updated examples that make complex concepts easy to understand and incredibly actionable. If you want to take control of your financial future, build income-generating assets, and break free from the “work for money” mindset, this book is an absolute must-read. It’s not just a book—it’s an investment in yourself! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their relationship with money and build wealth smartly.
