It cites quality craftsmanship and careful relation of buildings to landscape. Criteria A and C are claimed, with themes including architecture, recreation and conservation.","narrative":"Camp Goodwill, also known as Camp Lichtman, is a 13-acre cluster of camp buildings within Prince William Forest Park near Triangle, Virginia. Between 1937 and 1940, Civilian Conservation Corps and WPA workers built the core facilities: a unit lodge, office, dining hall and kitchen, infirmary, craft lodge, two staff quarters, a washhouse and a wood-stave water tower. The site of CCC camp SP-22, now a playfield, is also included for its archaeological potential. Buildings are raised on concrete piers and clad in locally cut pine or oak waney board, with stone chimneys, round-log porch posts and, originally, cedar shingles later replaced by asphalt. The craft lodge is noted for its ornamental stone gable and jack-arch surround. The district was listed for its role in the New Deal effort to create model recreation demonstration areas and for its rustic architecture, which blends modest construction with the surrounding forest. The original camper cabins have been replaced and are not counted as historic.","period_of_significance":"1933-42","architect_builder":"National Park Service; Civilian Conservation Corps","architectural_style":"NPS rustic architecture","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a camp and for outdoor recreation; the original camper cabins have been replaced and are non-historic.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:59.685658-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/74/6788/41678874/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/89000456.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000456/78b9968446-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000456/78b9968446-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"National Park Service","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chopawamsic_Camp_1_VA_NPS.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">National Park Service</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chopawamsic_Camp_1_VA_NPS.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"12000179","name":"Prince William Forest Park Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/virginia/prince-william-forest-park-historic-district-12000179/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41678874","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodwill_Historic_District,_Chopawamsic_RDA_Camp_1","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5583653"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/prince-william-county/goodwill-historic-district-chopawamsic-rda-camp-1-89000456/"}
