Exhibit: Woodstock Village: The Evolution
August 24 - October 6
A photo exploration of how the village of Woodstock transformed from a small rural town to a bustling creative community. The exhibit illustrates how buildings and businesses changed over the years.
The exhibit contains photographs from the late 1800s to present, from the Historical Society of Woodstock and private collections. Current photos of Mill Hill Road, Tinker Street and Rock City Road were taken by Henry Neimark and Fern Malkine-Falvey. Maps, and paintings by
Woodstock artists, John Pike, Wilna Hervey, Agnes Bierhals, Jean White and others are presented to illustrate changes over time.
Some buildings remain relatively unchanged, others are gone, and some transformed. Woodstock has changed and evolved dramatically, but the business district has been the center of commercial, social and cultural life in the village for over 200 years.
If buildings could talk, what tales would they tell?
