CCC Recreation Building-Nature Museum is a historic building located at McCormick's Creek State Park in Washington Township, Owen County, Indiana. It was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933, and is a one-story, frame building with board-and-batten siding and American Craftsman style design elements. It consists of a rectangular hip roofed main section, with a gabled wing. The wing features a large stone fireplace. The building was rehabilitated for use as a nature museum by the Works Progress Administration in 1936, and remained in that use into the 1970s.{{cite web| url = https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/welcome.html| title = Indiana State Historic Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD) | publisher = Department of Natural Resources, Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology | format = Searchable database| accessdate = 2016-06-01}} Note: This includes {{cite web| url =https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/r/20bdb/N/CCC_Recreation_Bldg_Nature_Museum_Owen_CO_Nom.pdf| title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: CCC Recreation Building-Nature Museum| accessdate = 2016-06-01| author=Glory-June Greiff| format = PDF| date=August 1992}} and Accompanying photographs.{{rp|5}}
