The CCC Worker is a bronze reproduction of a 1930's statue of a CCC Boy
during the Great Depression. The statue is a symbol of the determination
of the youth of the 1930's and early 1940's to work their way out of
poverty. The statue demonstrates the CCC's motto of "WE CAN TAKE
IT".
There are nineteen statues in seventeen states at various CCC sites. One statue is located at Letchworth State Park in eastern New York.
We would like to place a statue in New York
State at Gilbert Lake State Park. Due to the Park's central-location in
the state, and the number of CCC structures and workmanship that are still
prevalent in the Park, we believe this would be an ideal location for the
statue. More information about the statues and where future statues are
being placed can be obtained by going to the NACCCA web site under "CCC
Worker".
The cost of a statue is $16,850 and includes the
plaque. Does anyone have any ideas on how to raise the money? If you would like a representative from the Museum to speak to your group, please contact us at:
