“The Friends of Letchworth State Park have been working for over eight years to  restore, preserve, and increase interpretation of the lasting accomplishments of the  CCC that exist throughout the park,” said Victoria Campbell, a trustee with The Friends  of Letchworth State Park. “CCC Legacy Days and the CCC Legacy Pathway are our  opportunities to share with the public the opportunity to experience living history while  gaining a greater understanding of and appreciation for the enduring contributions of the  CCC to the Letchworth Park we know today.”
The celebration is free with park admission and open to the public.
Events begin with a 10 a.m. flag raising in the Lower Falls area, beside the CCC statue,  by an honor guard from the Niagara Falls Air Base. This will be followed by a  remembrance ceremony and a guided tour of the Lower Falls CCC Camp 49.
At 11 a.m., a program with presenters and exhibits will begin in the Humphrey Nature  Center. Tom Cook, author of The CCC in Letchworth State Park, will describe everyday  life and the challenges faced by the Civilian Conservation Corps in Letchworth 90 years  ago. Letchworth State Park Manager Doug Kelly will address the enduring value of the  CCC’s projects. CCC exhibits will be on display until 2 p.m. in the Humphrey Nature  Center.
