History of the Area
The wayside was established in 1939 as part of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) program during the Great Depression era. The CCC was a public work relief program that provided employment to young men while also conserving natural resources across the country.

During this time, workers from CCC Camp No. F-56 were stationed at Alderwood to develop recreational facilities for visitors along Highway 99W near Eugene-Springfield area. They built picnic areas with tables and fireplaces using local materials such as timber logs found nearby.
