Camp Harrison was located in the southeast corner of Harrison County, near State Route 20. The CCC camp was operated on donated lands behind the historic, Quiet Dell Schoolhouse. The camp was the home of CCC Company 2592, SCS-7 and was operational from July, 1935 until Fall 1937. As a SCS-sponsored CCC company, the primary mission was soil conservation and erosion control on local farms.  The CCC men also built or repaired local small bridges, improved roadside berm/shoulders and driveway accesses throughout the county. Teams of CCC enrollees would slope the farm lands to reduce speed of rainfall runoff and thus help reduce erosion.  (Click for more information.)
