Legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps: Company 1333- Camp S-63 Poe Valley

136 Poe Valley Park Circle, Coburn, PA 16832

Free Event

We are proud to collaborate with Centre County Historical Society and William Marcum, a local historian and research authority on the Poe Valley CCC Camp, to bring you CCC Legacy Day once again!

ALL are invited to come learn about the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and celebrate the accomplishments of Camp S-63 here at Poe Valley State Park. Prepare to be transported back in time as presenter Bill Marcum gives us a glimpse into the workings of the CCC program, and the day-to-day bustles of Camp S-63. There will also be time for attendees to share their own personal stories.

Additional presenters include Jennifer Haines from the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum discussing what artifacts the museum has on display, and the musical storytelling of folk guitarist Van Wagner.


*This is a FREE, family friendly event, and donations are greatly appreciated to help offset expenses.

Lunch based on a period inspired menu served at Poe Valley will be available for event attendees. To anticipate the amount of food and guests, we do ask that you please RSVP for this event.
