A smiling man wearing a beret and holding a guitar is featured on a poster that reads, “Bill Jamerson Presents: Dollar-A-Day Boys.” Vintage photos and silhouettes of men working are in the background.
Join us for Civilian Conservation Corps stories and songs with Bill Jamerson! This event is free and is in the shelter building- WI state park vehicle admission pass required to park at Pattison State Park.
“Since 1992, Bill Jamerson has researched the CCC. He produced a documentary for Michigan PBS, recorded a CD of songs, and wrote a historical novel. He presents “Dollar-A-Day Boys” all across the Midwest. Over 2.5 million men enlisted in the corps and today, their children and grandchildren have a keen interest in it. They often show up with CCC photo albums and memorabilia; they also share wonderful stories about their relatives with the audience. The story of the CCC has universal appeal because it’s about underdogs who are given a second chance.”
