Description
The 1930’s were an interesting time in our nation’s history when President Franklin D. Roosevelt helped to create a series of economic programs in response to the Great Depression that focused on what historians call the "3 Rs:" Relief, Recovery, and Reform. Explore the back roads, State Parks, and urban settings where these projects took place. Join photographer Doug Ohman as he presents the foot print that remains from the Works Progress Administration (WPA); Public Works Administration (PWA); Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC); and the Veterans Conservation Corps (VCC) in Minnesota.
