Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop an interpretive strategy for Honeyman, focusing on the role of the CCC in the park's development. Education is one of the most effective tools we can use to protect the nation's cultural heritage and to promote respect and stewardship of valuable historic resources. The high level of historic integrity retained in the CCC-built environment and the diverse beauty of the natural setting make this an excellent venue for interpretation and heritage education, providing a variety of themes that can be interpreted. Through implementation of the interpretive recommendations presented here, it is hoped that visitors gain a greater awareness of this dynamic time in national and local history, and realize the importance of continued preservation of the park for the enjoyment and education of future generations.
