CCC Presentation

Date: October 10, 2017 Time: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Event Description Tuesday, October 10, 2017, 6:30 PM: The Sauk County Historical Society is hosting the story of the Civilian Conservation Corps or "CCC". This event will be presented by author, songwriter and storyteller Bill Jamerson at the Baraboo Public Library, 230 4th Ave, Baraboo. Using a mix of original storytelling and song, Jamerson will tell about the dismal employment situation faced by young men during the Great Depression, the steps taken by the Roosevelt administration to address unemployment, the need for bolstering public infrastructure, the life of the CCC recruits, and the overall significance of the CCC contribution to American society. Sauk County had two CCC camps during the 1930's, one at Devils Lake and one near LaValle. Mandy current residents of Sauk County have ancestors that worked at one of these camps. The presentation is free and open to the public. To learn more call (608) 356-1001 or visit www.saukcountyhistory.org
