Peru Library – Civilian Conservation Corp

Everyone is invited to hear Tom Emery as he talks about the Civilian Conservation Corp from its beginnings in the 1930’s to world war 2. Part of the new deal, the CCC was a public work relief program for unemployed single men working to plant trees, build park buildings and other projects across the country. The CCC program is Thursday, April 21st from 6:30 to 7:30pm at the Peru Public Library. Come learn how our own Starved Rock Lodge connects to the Civilian Conservation Corp.
