The 1930s: A Civilian Conservation Corps Camp Created as part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal, the Civilian Conservation Corps was a work relief program that employed millions of young unmarried men who planted 3 billion trees, built dams and constructed trails, shelters and lodges in hundreds of parks across the nation. Often referred to as Roosevelt’s Tree Army, the work the CCC accomplished between 1933 and 1942 helped shape the modern national and state park systems we continue to enjoy today. Step into camp and learn more about the important work and impact of the CCC. McGuffey Schoolhouse • 9:30-5:00 Saturday & Sunday

Summer of 1943: A Small Town Wartime Home Front By the summer of 1943, the United States was well into its second full year of involvement in World War II. Rationing of most consumer goods and many austerity measures were in full force. Americans were urged to “Do with less – so they’ll have enough,” referring to U.S. troops abroad. Wander in and learn more about civilian efforts to support the nation at war and sustain public morale on the American home front. Near Wright Home • 9:30-5:00 Saturday & Sunday

The American Obsession With The Lawn Since the 18th century, American homes have had some sort of adjacent greenspace. In most cases, these were functional spaces used daily for household chores. With the rise of the suburban neighborhood at the end of the 19th century and its explosive growth in the years that followed World War II, the “perfect” weed-free front lawn became the new standard, along with a whole set of tools and products to support it. Stop by and visit with our mid-1950s homeowners as they perform the weekly ritual of cutting the grass. Near General Store • 9:30-5:00 Saturday & Sunday

Summer of 1963: A Neighborhood Picnic By the early 1960s, the growth of suburban America was at an all-time high. Greatly influenced by the automobile, an entire lifestyle became centered around driving. Day-to-day life in these new neighborhoods relied on the car. Even supermarkets and shopping malls relied on the family car. Stop by our early 1960s picnic and hear more about this era of changing times in midcentury America. Near Scotch Settlement • 9:30-5:00 Saturday & Sunday

Summer of 1976: A Bicentennial Picnic The celebration of the American Bicentennial was reaching a fever pitch by June 1976. America was riding high on patriotism, and everything was red, white and blue. Following the fuel crisis of the early 1970s, this was also a time the American automobile industry had slipped into what is now called the “malaise era.” Even though the reign of the muscle car was ended by high fuel costs and emission controls, Americans still had interesting, and sometimes quirky, choices in cars. Join us in celebrating the Spirit of ’76 and hang out with some Gremlins, Hornets, Matadors, Pintos and Mavericks. Gazebo Near Covered Bridge • 9:30-5:00 Saturday & Sunday
