John Bryan State Park, located in Greene County, Ohio, has a rich history, and its development owes much to the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).

It provided jobs and training for young men while addressing natural resource conservation and infrastructure development.
John Bryan State Park continues to showcase the legacy of the CCC through its enduring structures and enhanced natural beauty. The park is a testament to the program’s contributions to conservation and public recreation.
John Bryan State Park is located near Clifton and Yellow Springs, Ohio.
