We hit the road this week to discover the history of the Black Civilian Conservation Corps at the C&O Canal! What does this have to do with Baltimore? Well these men came from Baltimore (and DC & Philly) in the 1930s and 1940s to improve this national park. And their service has had a lasting impact for those who live near and far. Thanks for watching and see you next week!

This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." We record short videos about different historic places all over Baltimore and post them on our Facebook page, YouTube channel, and website.  For more information or to become a member of Baltimore Heritage, check out: baltimoreheritage.org/support
