In celebration of our nation’s 250th birthday, the Historical Society of Woodstock is pleased to announce a new exhibit, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Community” open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. from July 11 through August 23. To kick off the exhibit, an opening reception is scheduled for Friday evening July 10 from 6:00–8:00 p.m., and a talk with curators Deborah Heppner, Karen King, JoAnn Margolis, and Janine Mower will be presented on Saturday July 11 at 4:00 p.m. Admission to all events and the exhibit is free. The new exhibit traces the story of Woodstock’s journey during the Revolutionary period from the wilderness years to its creation as a town in 1787, and its early years as a new town in a new nation. The exhibit is supported in part by the Ulster County Rev250 Sponsorship Fund.
