Plymouth Historical Society will host renowned historian and author Marty Podskoch on Sunday, October 29th 2023 at 2:00PM at the Plymouth Community Center.

The Civilian Conservation Corps began on March 31, 1933 under President Roosevelt's "New Deal" to relieve the poverty and unemployment of the Depression. CCC camps were set up in many Vermont towns, state parks, and forests. There were approximately 34 Vermont towns that contained camps, including, locally, Ludlow, Plymouth, Shrewsbury.

Marty Podskoch is a retired teacher from New York and author of eleven books. He is currently gathering information for future books on the Vermont CCC camps and the 68 camps in Massachusetts. He is very interested in meeting individuals who may have CCC stories and photos to contribute to these books. Please join us on Sunday, October 29th to learn more about Vermont's unique history and where remains still exist of some of these camps.

There is no admission fee, refreshments will be available. A donation jar will be available to help defray costs.
