FDR and the CCC

Join us for an in depth look at the creation and successes of President Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps – one of the most popular New Deal programs of The Great Depression. Initially open to unemployed, unmarried men aged 18 to 25, this voluntary government work-relief program supplied manual labor jobs related to the conservation and development of natural resources. Some of the most notable architectural achievements in this region are a direct result of this program!
