Civilian Conservation Corps Living History Weekend

Come meet “George Richter Jr.”, a young enrollee in the Civilian Conservation Corps working here at Elk Neck State Park in 1937. Get a “first person” account of hijinks, hard work, danger, and adventure as the boys of Mr. Roosevelt’s Tree Army built Elk Neck for a dollar a day during the Great Depression. You’ll have a chance to check out the uniforms and tools CCC members used in the creation of Elk Neck. Reservations required; contact the park for more details.
