Exhibit Opening Reception

By invitation only:

The Woodstock History Center invites you to join us at our opening of the exhibit, The Wonder Room. Visitors to our Canaday Gallery will find a new, more expansive installation of two hundred years of notable art and craft objects that showcase the breadth of our collection as well as other privately held objects. There will be over 50 artists and craftspeople highlighted in the exhibition which will be open for our 2024 and 2025 tour seasons.

The reception will begin with presentations by Matthew Powers, Executive Director of the Woodstock History Center, and Elise Brunelle, Executive Director of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. They will be discussing the exhibit and the 90th anniversary of the VSO. A small ensemble performance by members of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra will follow.

We hope that you join us in celebrating art and craft in the Woodstock area and the many opportunities that it offers for our community.

Mud Dance: At Home in the Stream

After the 2023 flood waters receded from the banks of the Ottauquechee, Judith Taylor explored the ruined fields along the river and what had been the Ottauquechee River Trail covered with debris. From the mud and rubble, Judith unearthed rusted artifacts and fragments of glass, pottery, wood and brick, with which she constructed sculptures that bear witness to the impact of the flood.

Event: 80th Anniversary

This event is by invitation only.

In 1943, the Woodstock Historical Society was formed with the goal of preserving and sharing the area's history. Over the past eighty years, the Woodstock Historical Society went through numerous changes, including a name change to the Woodstock History Center; however, its commitment toward preserving the area's history has remained the same.

In 2023, the Woodstock History Center will host a special exhibit and a special anniversary event in September. We appreciate the support and interest of our members and the community over the past eight decades that have enabled our organization to pursue its mission, and we look forward to continuing with this mission for years to come.
