How the Job is Done: The CCC on the New Jersey Palisades

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.  Register is necessary on mahwahlibrary.org events calendar to receive the Zoom Link (Don't forget to give us your email address).
