The 1930’s were interesting times in our nation’s history. The creation and roll-out of sweeping economic programs, in response to the Great Depression had just taken place. There was great hope and expectations in the country. Explore some of the legacy footprints that remain in Minnesota from these programs, such as the WPA, PWA, CCC, NYA and the VCC.
The Wikipedia page for Lake Shetek State Park, indicates that both the FERA and the WPA played instrumental roles in the early development of the park, including roads, sewers, and the construction of several structures, some of which are still in the park today.
Come join us as Minnesota photographer and storyteller Doug Ohman shares his knowledge of Minnesota history and his photographs with us.
