It’s late 1969 and Communist China has successfully launched its first satellite. Inspired by this feat, a group of college students in Laguna Beach, California, set out to put their own satellite into orbit in homage to the recent Woodstock Festival. A young Canadian graduate student at the University of California finds himself at the centre of the mayhem when he and his friends break into a mothballed missile silo and commandeer everything they need, including a nuclear warhead, to blast the Woodstock Nation into the space age. The activists have big plans for their loot, schemes that may well culminate in the Light Show to End All Light Shows in the Nevada desert. An extraordinary black comedy shot full of the social and political issues of the time, Woodstock Rising is a coming-of-age tale couched in free love, rock anthems, and revolution as well as a chronicle of an era whose causes continue to speak to us.

Excerpt from From Forest to City: Woodstock, Its Rise, Growth and Development, in Photogravure; 1834-1901 Indifferent progress marked the growth on the site of the present city until 1833, when the advent of Captain Drew and Major Barwick stirred the latent ambitions of those earlier settlers into earnest activity, and ere long Woodstock had attained village proportions. Capt. Drew was shortly followed by Rear Admiral Vansittart and by that plethora of cultured English gentlemen whose wealth and influence established Woodstock as dominating in an especial degree the character of this western portion of country. During the troublesome times of '37 the loyalty and courage of Woodstock's citizens were conspicuous, and were graciously acknowledged by the British Government. From this time forward the village thrived, and as time passed on incorporation marked another milestone of its progress.

A local historian uncovers a racially charged murder trial in upstate New York in this examination of prejudice and punishment in the early twentieth century. In 1905, the quiet rural community of Woodstock, New York, was shocked by the murder of Oscar Harrison, a member of a prominent local family. A suspect, Cornell Van Gaasbeek, was quickly identified. As a black man accused of killing a white man, Van Gaasbeek knew that he was doomed. Amid racist animus in the press, he fled across two counties before being apprehended by a vigilante and charged. Local reformer and politician Augustus H. Van Buren stood up to community pressure and defended the accused pro bono. It took three years and multiple trials to overcome racial inequalities in the justice system. Local historian Richard Heppner documents the crime, arrest and trials that revealed racial tensions in upstate New York at the turn of the century.
