The exhibit is planned to open in September in the Steele Community Room and will acknowledge both the upcoming 90th anniversary of the CCC Camp at Little River and this year's celebrations of 100 years of Vermont State Parks. Although coming later in state parks history, the Waterbury Reservoir, Little River Campground and Waterbury Center State Park are among the most popular parks destinations in Vermont.
