Roosevelt’s New Deal. Discover what daily life was like for the young men who lived in Connecticut's 21 CCC camps while building trails, planting trees, fighting fires, and improving parks and forests across the state. Learn how the CCC provided jobs, skills, and hope during the Great Depression—and left a legacy that can still be seen in Connecticut’s landscape today. Presenter and author Marty Podskoch will focus especially on the Squantz Pond CCC camp.
Signed copies of Marty's books will be available for purchase following his talk.

Years ago, they were smoking a pork butt in the back yard. I got a call from Mike saying, “I was thinking about building a smokehouse in our Yard”. My response, from the register at the grocery store, was 'That would be great!' When I returned home that afternoon, there was an excavation truck leveling the spot where, hours later, a smoke house was built.” -Danielle Gallop Mike is a professional who will stop at nothing to bring you the best food and provide the best experience out there. When they create an idea with you, it becomes their “smokehouse”. They will not bring in an excavation truck, but they will build everything to suit you. This puts Twins among the best &amp; good places to eat.
