Step back to 1936 with *CCC at La Purisima*, a documentary that showcases the incredible work done by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to restore the historic La Purisima Mission in California. The film captures the dedicated efforts of CCC units as they rebuild this old Spanish mission located in La Purisima State Park.

Reel 1 begins with scenes of workers shoveling dust and dirt from the mission ruins, clearing the area for reconstruction. The film then follows the meticulous process of rebuilding the mission's walls using adobe brick, a traditional method that preserves the historical integrity of the site. Workers also create roofing tiles from locally sourced clay, giving the restoration an authentic touch. The documentary concludes with the landscaping of the mission grounds, transforming the area into a beautiful, preserved historic site.

*CCC at La Purisima* highlights the remarkable contribution of the Civilian Conservation Corps to preserving America’s cultural heritage while also providing employment and training for young men during the Great Depression.
