Roosevelt State Park
Cabin Renovations
The project at Roosevelt State Park in Morton, Mississippi focused on the preservation and modernization of the historic Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) cabins, originally constructed between 1938 and 1945. These cabins hold significant historical culture value, and the renovation work balanced maintaining their heritage while providing modern amenities. This project consisted of work across multiple cabin sites which included roof demolition and reconstruction, kitchen cabinet removal and replacement, flooring and wall refinishing, and relocation of a waterline. Drainage improvements were performed, including installation of a French drain dowelled into the existing and concrete landing, electrical upgrades including new outlets and interior and exterior lights and switches, and interior finish touch-ups including paint, sheetrock, and siding repair.
The work also included extensive upgrades to ensure guest comfort and enhance the park’s lodging offerings. These renovations included stainless steel appliances, flat-screen TVs, and electric remote controlled fireplaces, while also adding screened-in porches with scenic views of Shadow Lake. Outdoor amenities were improved with a grill, fire pit, and picnic tables.
