NEW HOLLAND, Pa. — Garden Spot Village ALIVE (Active Lifelong Learners in Vital Engagements) continues its Living History series with a program on the Great Depression.

“This program will put the Great Depression in a historical context enhanced by recollections by those who experienced the event and the recovery from it,” said Chet Yoder, director of pastoral services at Garden Spot Village.

Dan Spanjer, associate professor of Arts and Sciences at Lancaster Bible College, will present an hour-long lecture on the events leading up to the Great Depression, the depression itself and how the U.S. economy pulled out of it. Following a coffee and pastry break, participants will be invited to ask questions and to share memories and experiences of this era.
