Learn about ‘The Boys of Bergen’ On Thursday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m., Kathleen Duxbury will present “The Boys of Bergen: Remembering the Civilian Conservation Corps in Bergen County.” Part of the Mahwah Museum Lecture Series, this program will be held at the Ramapo Reformed Church Educational Building at 100 Island Road in Mahwah. The Civilian Conservation Corps was created by Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression as the first and most successful of his New Deal work programs. While providing jobs for many young, unmarried men, the program dealt with the conservation and development of natural resources and helped the nation face the high unemployment rates caused by the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Between 1933 and 1941, the CCC boys toiled along the cliffs of the New Jersey Palisades and in the marshes of the Hackensack Valley. They worked, played, and grew up to become confident young men with a newfound respect for conservation and America. The CCC is now recognized as the greatest conservation movement in U.S. history.
Duxbury is an author, photographer, and New Deal researcher. The Mahwah Museum Lecture Series is presented on the second Thursday of the month. Admission is free to museum members and $3 for non-members. Refreshments are provided and reservations are suggested.
