See 12 sites in Reno, Nevada changed by Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs during the Depression

You can still see physical evidence of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs from back in the days of the Great Depression here in the Reno, Nevada area! Some places are abandoned, and some are still in use today. We’ll see buildings and other community improvements that were the result of programs such as the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). All of the things you will see were completed before World War 2 - let’s take a tour and visit 12 of them!
We'll then end up at IMBIB Custom Brews Brewery for a tasty Imperial Stout craft beer.

Thanks to Dr. Alicia Barber and Sarah Patton at the Nevada Historical Society for research assistance, and also the Guinn Center and Sierra Nevada Journeys.

This is the place to learn interesting things about Reno, the state of Nevada and the American west! I've lived in Reno for 38 years (as an adult!). I've had a lifelong interest in history and spend much time exploring and researching this wonderful area. I started this channel to share some of what I've learned. I produced a full-length documentary film on the history of Reno's Harolds Club casino in 2015. Perhaps you're thinking of moving to Reno and looking for background on the area, or you're already a resident and this content might help give you a sense of place. I shall endeavor to cater to both groups! I'm also a craft beer enthusiast, and thought I'd talk about some of that scene here as well. I started homebrewing in 1992, and earned the Certified Cicerone designation in 2015 - this is a sommelier-like program for beer people. Please subscribe, share and come along with me on this journey!

Thanks and cheers!

Steve
