We Can Take It: The Story of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the White Mountains
The Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, was one of our most successful and well-liked federal
government programs and ran from 1933 to 1942. This program will discuss the CCC 1939;s legacy in the White Mountain region of New Hampshire and Maine. There were 21 CCC camps in the White Mountains, each employing up to 200 men. The US military ran the camps, and the staff of the US Forest Service, New Hampshire State Parks, and even the private forest products industry supervised the enrollees. The Great Depression setting was when one out of four
Americans was out of work, and financial collapse was familiar. We will consider the causes of the Great Depression, the role of the Dust Bowl, and the Bonus Army March on the nation's capital. How President Franklin Delano Roosevelt established the CCC quickly, put men back to work, and improved our natural resources, parks, and forests will be described.
Admission is FREE. Donations are accepted.
