Friday August 18th at 1:00 pm in the Main Dining Room
Westview Meadows will host author and historian Marty Podskoch who will give a Power Point presentation on the History of the Vermont Civilian Conservation Corps Camps.
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) began on March 31, 1933 under President Roosevelt’s “New Deal” to relieve the poverty and unemployment of the Depression. CCC camps were set up in many VT towns, state parks, & forests. Workers built trails, roads, campsites, & dams, stocked fish, built & maintained fire tower observer’s cabins & telephone lines, fought fires, & planted millions of trees. The CCC disbanded in 1942 due to the need for men in WW II.
