The exhibition\, through images and artifacts\, looks at how farming has been part of Woodstock’s story from its earliest days to the present. The exhibition will run through November 12th and is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 pm to 5 pm. Admission is free. \nLike most of rural America during the 1800s\, Woodstockers relied on farming to provide for the needs of their families and to serve as sources of income. Even “town families” maintained large gardens and chickens as well as a milk cow in their backyards. Will Rose\, for example\, writes in his book The Vanishing Village about the wonderful smell of the fruit trees and berries throughout the village. The artists who arrived in the early 1900s also learned the value of Woodstock’s barns as both a subject for their paintings as well as a place to live. The exhibit also looks at present day farmers as they bring their own twist to Woodstock’s farming story. \nWould 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? \nThese 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. \nThis 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n ”In addition\, our new publication Catskill Love Song–Coloring Book will be available for purchase at the HSW gift shop during the exhibit. It is based on the recent song\, “Catskill Love Song by musician and author Steve Charney. Steve and illustrator and author David Goldin created this coloring book to support the mission of the HSW to preserve\, interpret and share the unique history of Woodstock. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlso open to visitors is the new permanent exhibit Remembering Woodstock and the newly renovated Tool Shed\, featuring examples of tools used in Woodstock’s past. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Historical Society of Woodstock was founded in 1929 by a group of artists\, writers\, academics\, and local citizens.

Heppner\, who has written extensively on Woodstock history\, will discuss how\, at the time\, a decidedly conservative town “greeted” an influx of young people as Woodstock became a beacon for those seeking music\, magic\, and freedom. It wasn’t always pretty. \nFrom the early 1960s\, through a good part of the 1970s\, official Woodstock and many of its townspeople weren’t always pleased with the new arrivals as the town confronted differing lifestyles\, issues of drug use\, nude swimming\, trespassing\, and varying political and philosophical beliefs. Through his talk\, Heppner will highlight the impact and evolution of changing times in Woodstock as the name of a small town at the base of Overlook Mountain became linked to an entire generation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Historical Society of Woodstock is located at 20 Comeau Drive\, Woodstock.

Barry will be at the Eames House\, Woodstock\, on Saturday\, Aug. 19\, to discuss his book\, “Levon Helm: Rock\, Roll & Ramble—The Inside Story of the Man\, the Music and the Midnight Ramble.” \nLevon Helm\, a more than 40-year-resident of Woodstock\, played drums\, sang and played mandolin in The Band. He also developed a successful solo career\, winning three Grammys inspired by his legendary house concerts\, the Midnight Rambles\, held at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock. \nHelm’s Midnight Ramble success followed his battle with cancer of the vocal cords; bankruptcy; and nearly losing his home to the bank. A former staff writer for the USA Today Network in Poughkeepsie\, Barry documents it all in his book\, which is based on recorded conversations with Helm\, captured over years. \nBarry will be joined for the book discussion by Barbara O’Brien\, who served as Helm’s manager during his Midnight Ramble era. \nThis event\, which will also feature signed books for sale\, is set for 2 p.m. Aug. 19 and is being presented by the Historical Society of Woodstock on the Woodstock festival anniversary weekend. \nVisit rockrollramble.com to learn more.

This was not the case\, however\, here in Woodstock\, when one of The Maverick’s first writers\, the struggling poet Henry Morton Robinson\, emerged into literary stardom with a “book of the year novel” in 1950 entitled\, “The Cardinal.” The reason being his only son Anthony Robinson failed to be intimidated by his father’s brief if spectacular career. ( Robinson\, Sr\, died at 61 and is remembered today more for his classic collaboration with Joseph Campbell : “A Skeleton Key To Finnegan’s Wake.”) \nInstead a tenacious Anthony Robinson would himself write several admired novels and short stories\, while becoming a local favorite professor of English Literature and director of the Creative Writing department at SUNY New Paltz. Even so\, Tad Wise argues that the son of Henry Morton Robinson has– late in his own life—left us perhaps his most remarkable portrait by recalling his own boyhood “on the Maverick\,” while yes\, reproducing with uncanny accuracy and sympathy the vastly different experiences of a father and son\, locked in a struggle rife with anger\, resentments\, begrudging love\, and hard-won respect. \nIn Father of The Man\, the younger Robinson\, in fact\, emulates a completely different set of mid-century American writers and—while including his own classic friendship with Maverick founder Hervey White—makes an impressive contribution to the Coming of Age American novel. \nWise will interview Robinson on… URL:https://historicalsocietyofwoodstock.org/event/anthony-robinson-in-conversation-with-tad-wise-father-of-the-man/ LOCATION:Historical Society of Woodstock\, 20 Comeau Drive\, Woodstock\, NY\, 12498\, United States CATEGORIES:2023 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://historicalsocietyofwoodstock.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Anthony-Robinson-Book-Cover.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230805 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230918 DTSTAMP:20260415T102541 CREATED:20230606T174245Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T170710Z UID:1187-1691193600-1694995199@historicalsocietyofwoodstock.org SUMMARY:Goin' to Town...A Celebration of the Woodstock Village DESCRIPTION:The Historical Society of Woodstock announces the opening of a new exhibition\nGoin’ to Town… a Celebration of the Woodstock Village \nSaturdays & Sundays\, August 5 through September 17\, 1–5 p.m.\nOpening reception \nSaturday\, August 5\, 3–5 p.m.\n20 Comeau Drive Woodstock\, N.Y.\nAdmission: Free \nThe Historical Society of Woodstock announces the opening of a new exhibition Goin’ to Town…a Celebration of the Woodstock Village on Saturday August 5\, 2023\, at 20 Comeau Drive Woodstock\, N.Y. with an opening reception on August 5 at 3 pm.

The town was largely self-sufficient in that people grew or produced most of what they needed to live a good life. Surrounding the small-town center were many active farms that raised livestock and grew a variety of crops. Farming itself has never been a hugely profitable endeavor in the Catskills\, and Woodstock farmers were no exception. They frequently had to supplement their income with other activities such as making shake shingles or barrel staves from locally harvested timber. Ice harvesting from local ponds was a winter job\, as was hauling timber and quarried bluestone by sled over snow. \nThe Tool Shed exhibit highlights some of the stories of the people of Woodstock through the tools they used from the mid-1800s until the mid-1900s. They represent farm families\, tradespeople\, and merchants. The tools on display show a sample of the types of work in which these people engaged. \n \n  URL:https://historicalsocietyofwoodstock.org/event/the-tools-they-used-a-history-of-woodstock-through-tools/ LOCATION:Historical Society of Woodstock\, 20 Comeau Drive\, Woodstock\, NY\, 12498\, United States CATEGORIES:2023 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://historicalsocietyofwoodstock.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Tool-Shed1-cropped.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230610 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230724 DTSTAMP:20260415T102541 CREATED:20230602T164457Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230616T191357Z UID:1002-1686355200-1690156799@historicalsocietyofwoodstock.org SUMMARY:Woodstock Art Colony Works On Paper DESCRIPTION:Time: 1–5 p.m.\nOpening reception\nSaturday\, June 10\, 3–5 p.m.\nwith talk by Bruce Weber at 3:30 p.m.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n William H.

Arlt’s Flowers (by paper conservator Sarah Dove)\, and the conservation needs of pictures by Marianne Appel\, Judson Smith and Harry Gottlieb. As a result of the support of the NYSCA/GHNN Conservation Treatment Grant Program\, conservation has been completed on Arlt’s Flowers\, and paintings Hervey White in His Studio by Arnold Blanch and Landscape by Edmund B. Rolfe. These efforts are part of a long-range plan to care for works in need of conservation in the HSW’s fine art collection\, which consists of over 800 works. It is our hope that with the support of people in the community we will soon undertake the care of the pictures in the exhibition by Marianne Appel\, Judson Smith and Harry Gottlieb. \nThe exhibition\, curated by Bruce Weber with the assistance of Maria Yeye\, highlights three areas of the fine art collection: portraits of leading local individuals; townscapes\, village scenes\, landscapes; and the sociey’small but exquisite collection of still life. Among the works on view are self-portraits by Kurt Sluizer\, Manuel Bromberg\, Franklin Alexander\, Leslie Bender\, Robert Angeloch\, Sally Michel Avery\, March Avery and Dan Gelfand\, as well as likenesses by Judson Smith of artist Sam Wylie and illustrator Miska Petersham\, and Aline Fruhauf’s caricature of the author J. P. McEvoy. Outdoor scenes by Clarence Bolton\, Reeves Brace\, Wilna Hervey\, Doris Lee and Mary James\, and still lifes by Ernest Fiene\, Harry Gottlieb\, Georgina Klitgaard\, Mary D. Smith\, and Milton Glaser are also included. \nThe Historical Society of Woodstock will host an opening reception for the show from 3:00–5:00 pm on June 10th.\nRefreshments will be served\, and admission is free.
