Tuesday, June 28th at 6:00 the Rochester Public Library will host author and historian Marty Podskoch for a presentation on the History of the Vermont Civilian Conservation Corps Camps.
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) began in 1933 to relieve the poverty and unemployment of the Depression. CCC camps were set up in 30 VT towns including Rochester. 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.
Here at the Rochester Public Library, they repaired books from libraries around the state and dug the basement under the building.
Marty Podskoch is the author of eleven books on the CCC and the Adirondacks.
This program will be presented in person (masks, please!) and via Zoom. Zoom: Meeting ID: 896 0308 3788 Passcode: 342248
