Woodstock
Few small towns in America have as colorful a history as that of Woodstock, New York. Long before it was put on the map by the Woodstock Festival at Max Yasgur's Sullivan County farm in the summer of 1969, Woodstock was established as a haven for free-thinkers driven to the "earthly paradise" to pursue their vision of a Utopian, self-sufficient community. In this captivating history, Alf Evers shows how this community has been constantly redefined as successive generations of bohemians, artists, and exiles from the city have settled in this town, both unique to and exemplary of the American culture of which it has been so vital a part.
Remembering Woodstock
From the early pioneering days to the establishment of one of the premier art colonies in the nation, these are the stories of one of Americas most famous small towns. Beneath the gentle slopes of Overlook Mountain lies the town of Woodstock, a thriving community of painters, musicians and craftsmen. The towns early history of wintry hardships, courageous settlers and rebellious farmers sets the stage for a saga of spirited and creative personalities. As this energetic individualism carried over into the twentieth century, the sounds of cow horns and tin pails gave way to the bacchanalian revelry of Maverick music festivals and the wailing guitar of Bob Dylan. The first hippie came to town in 1963, and within a few years this Colony of the Arts was swept up by the counterculture movement of the 60s. In this collection of essays from the Historical Society of Woodstock archives, Richard Heppner captures the unique spirit of Woodstock, where the individual is always welcome and new and creative beginnings are always possible.
Gathering Woodstock Women
"Gathering Woodstock Women" began as an exhibit offered by the Historical Society of Woodstock during the summer of 2017. Offered initially as a celebration of the 100th anniversary of women in New York State receiving the right to vote, the exhibit quickly became a powerful statement on the important roles women have played throughout Woodstock's unique history. Within these pages are the stories of many remarkable Woodstock women who have led the Woodstock community in the arts, government and in constructing the sense of community that lies at the heart of Woodstock's foundation. Their stories represent an independent spirit that has spanned more than two centuries - and continues today.
