Linnell Camp Community Center in the 1940s

Linnell Work Camp

The community center is located at the hexagon entrance of Linnell Camp. Each camp was to be a self-contained community, with its own water and sewer system, streets laid out, a school, a clinic, utilities building with showers, laundry and toilets, and a community center. The community center was used for meetings, church services, dances and other forms of recreation.

Each camp was governed by a community council elected by the residents.
