Seeking Civilian Conservation Corp Information

Diane Galusha, a Margaretville historian who is researching the Civilian Conservation Corps in the Catskills, is seeking information, materials and photos of the CCC's work at Woodland Valley Campground. Boiceville, Tannersville and Margaretville hosted CCC camps during the mid-1930s when the campground was expanded, and it's believed all three contributed manpower to build structures (including the caretaker's cabin), trails, and stream improvement structures. If you have any primary materials (diaries, letters, records etc.) or photos of CCC activity at Woodland Valley, or can refer her to people with such information, please contact Diane at 845-586-4973; or cybercat@catskill.net. A book on the CCC in the Catskills is expected to be published later in 2008.
