SUMMARY:Book Signing and Talk: Woodstock – From World War to Culture Wars
DESCRIPTION:Book Signing and Talk for New Book:\nWoodstock – From World War to Culture Wars\,\nby Richard Heppner\nOn Sunday October 13\, at 3:00 p.m.\, the Historical Society of Woodstock will host a book signing and talk by Woodstock Town Historian\, Richard Heppner for his new book\, Woodstock – From World War to Culture Wars. Published by SUNY Press\, Woodstock – From World War to Culture Wars explores the uncommon history of a small town in the shadow of Overlook Mountain as it moved through major changes during the twentieth century. \nFew towns in America are as famous as Woodstock\, New York—although Woodstock may be most famous for an event that happened many miles away! Long before the 1969 Woodstock festival put the town on the map\, it had been a center for artists and free thinkers who found refuge in its rural setting. Longtime citizens were often shocked by the arrival of these newcomers who brought new values and attitudes to their once-isolated village. From the transformative arrival of artists in the early twentieth century to the influx of musicians and young people in the 1960s\, Woodstockers worked and struggled to balance everyday life in a small\, rural community with the attention and notoriety the outside world brought to it. Presented chronologically\, this text examines the nature of change within Woodstock’s uncommon story as it emerges from the Great Depression\, confronts the realty of World War II\, moves through the 1950s and into an unimagined and unintended future with the arrival of the Sixties through today. At its core\, this is a story of how Woodstock’s cultural and political institutions\, its citizens\, and its physical landscape met the ever-changing challenges of changing times. It is a story of community\, resilience\, conflict\, and transition into a world its early settlers could not have imagined. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Richard Heppner is Emeritus Professor of Communications and the former Vice President of Academic Affairs at Orange County Community College\, State University of New York\, and has served as the Woodstock Town Historian since 2001. He is the author of Woodstock’s Infamous Murder Trial: Early Racial Injustice in Upstate New York and coauthor (with Janine Fallon-Mower) of Legendary Locals of Woodstock.
