Through some of the darkest days of the Great Depression, a pair of Civilian Conservation Corps camps on the New Jersey Palisades served as “home” to hundreds of young men who performed conservation work in the Interstate Park. Park photographs – along with stories and illustrations from camp newspapers that the “CCC boys” themselves published during their time on the Palisades – highlight this illustrated talk by historical interpreters Francesca Costa and Eric Nelsen. This program is both in person in the library and live streaming via Zoom.
