In September, the national CCC Legacy organization will be holding its annual gathering. The Friends of Letchworth State Park invite you to the 2019 CCC Legacy Annual Gathering to be held at the award-winning Letchworth State Park in the beautiful Genesee Valley of Western New York from September 26 to 28.

The park was the site of four CCC camps whose members are credited for laying the foundation to what has been voted the #1 State Park in America. Participants in this year’s gathering will be exploring the experiences and accomplishments of those “We Can Take It” men while enjoying the park’s colorful history and scenic beauty.
