Question
What is Happy Days Lodge?
Answer
Happy Days Lodge is named for the theme song of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal political platform, “Happy Days Are Here Again.” The building was constructed in 1938-39 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The architecture of Happy Days speaks to its history and provides a unique atmosphere for events. The CCC subscribed to rustic “parkitecture” design developed by the National Park Service in the early 1900s. This style emphasizes horizontal lines, low silhouettes and choices of color and materials found in the local surroundings. Happy Days is constructed of wormy chestnut, wood from the American chestnut trees killed by the early 20th-century blight that devastated this once-common tree. The sandstone floor and fireplace, made from locally quarried sandstone, complement the wood.
