Camps of Crisis: A Free History Talk at Pittsford Library — August 18

There's a piece of history most Pittsford residents don't know — and it's closer than you'd think. On Tuesday evening, August 18, the Pittsford Community Library hosts "Camps of Crisis," a free presentation tracing the history of Civilian Conservation Corps and prisoner-of-war camps that shaped America during the Depression and World War II. This is the kind of story that puts a human face on the past — and might make you see familiar landscapes in a completely different light.

Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2026 Time: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM Location: Fisher Meeting Room, Pittsford Community Library, 24 State Street Cost: Free
