Adirondack Museum Cabin Fever Sunday

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a public works program that operated from 1933 to 1942 as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. In the Adirondacks, enrollees built trails, roads, campsites and dams, they stocked fish, built and maintained fire towers, observers' cabins and telephone lines, fought fires, and planted millions of trees. Learn about camp life and Adirondack projects with author Marty Podskock. Free to members and children; $5 for non-members. Sponsored by the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation dedicated to improving the quality of life for year-round residents of the Adirondack Park: www.pearsallfoundation.org. This program is made possible through the support of the New York Council for the Humanities. This program is part of our Cabin Fever Sunday programming and wil take place at 1:30 p.m. at Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek, N.Y.
