ROBBER'S CAVE STATE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT |
| Description of Significance |
ROBBERS CAVE STATE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY 4,480 ACRES OF THE 8,000 ACRE ROBBERS CAVE STATE PARK, ENCOMPASSING THE AREAS OF THE PARK ORIGINALLY PLANNED AND CONSTRUCTED BY THE CCC AND THE WPA. THESE TWO RELIEF ORGANIZATIONS COLLABORATED TO PRODUCE A RECREATIONAL/SCENIC SYSTEM, UTILIZING THE NATURAL AND EXISTING FEATURES OF THE AREA. THE DESIGNS FOR AMENITIES, SUCH AS COMFORT STATIONS AND PAVILIONS, WERE AT THE FOREFRONT OF CONTEMPORARY RECREATIONAL PLANNING. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED SINCE THE 1940S, BUT THE DISTRICT RETAINS A HIGH DEGREE OF HISTORIC INTEGRITY. CONTRIBUTING PROPERTIES INCLUDE TRAIL SYSTEMS, BRIDGES, SIGNS, CABINS, AND OTHER RECREATION-RELATED FACILITIES AND STRUCTURES. LISTED IN NATIONAL REGISTER 8/23/2002. |
