Hermitage Roundtable. Wednesday, March 27, 7:30 pm. The Hermitage, 2nd Floor Education Room, 335 North Franklin Turnpike, Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ 07423. The Boys of Bergen: Remembering the Civilian Conservation Corps in Bergen County. Kathleen Duxbury will present the story of the Civilian Conservation Corps in Bergen County. Between 1933 and 1940 the Boys of Bergen toiled along the cliffs of the Palisades and in the marshes of the Meadowlands. They worked, they played, they grew up, and in the process became a generation of young men with a new-found respect for conservation and patriotism. The CCC was a New Deal work relief program for the purposes of conserving and developing our natural resources, particularly our parks. Kathleen’s research in primary source materials provides a view of the impact of this program on us today. Kathleen will sell and sign copies of her book, The Boys of Bergen: Remembering the Civilian Conservation Corps in Bergen County, New Jersey.
