Family Tales of Farming and Country Life Around Old Woodstock
October 7, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Would you want to hear the story about the farmer who kept bears as livestock? How about the woman who had a fried rattlesnake recipe and a special skillet just for it?
These and many other Woodstock family stories have been handed down through the generations. Please join with some members of Woodstock families as they recount these tales and many others that will make you laugh and amaze you.
This will be a panel discussion at the Historical Society of Woodstock on Saturday, October 7th, from 11 AM until 1 PM. Audience participation will be encouraged. This event is part of the Path Through History weekend.

The Historical Society of Woodstock was founded in 1929 by a group of artists, writers, academics, and local citizens. In addition to the exhibition space, which is located at the historic Eames House on Comeau Drive in the center of Woodstock, the Historical Society has an extensive archive consisting of paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, textiles, photographs, books, manuscripts, correspondence, documents, film/sound recordings, and antique tools. The archive serves as a resource for a wide range of exhibitions, public programming, and research.
