Free lecture at Wood County Museum to discuss challenges to New Deal

From WOOD COUNTY MUSEUM

In many ways, the Great Depression fundamentally challenged the nation’s established institutional and political norms. For many, how to best mitigate the unprecedented economic crisis centered on scope and philosophy. However, for some, the conditions necessitated a more radical program. In the seventh installment of the Great Depression Lecture Series, attendees will examine the left- and right-wing challenges to the New Deal and the individuals who sought to undermine it.

Chase Fleece, historic farm coordinator for the Wood County Park District will speak tonight, July 1, at 6 p.m., in the Wood County Museum Meeting Room. The event is free and open to the public.

This is the seventh installment in the Great Depression Lecture Series, an America 250 program. This is a Wood County Park District-lead event, in partnership with the Wood County Museum.
