A silo that's 60 feet tall and 37.5 feet in diameter has been transformed into a kaleidoscope. We were able to experience a visual and sound show of images transformed by the use of mirrors. Here are some of the amazing kaleidoscopic images we saw!
There are shops onsite where you can purchase all types of hand-made kaleidoscopes.
One day while staying in Woodstock we drove to New Paltz, NY. Their Historic Huguenot Street is the oldest street in the US with many original homes. There are 7 stone houses built in the 1700s by Huguenot settlers.
This is a picture of the Bevier-Elting House built between 1698 and 1703. It is believed to be the oldest surviving stone house on Huguenot Street.
This house is a prime example of the Dutch influence on early New Paltz architecture, particularly with its steep roof, Dutch door, and gable end of the house facing the street.
Bearsville is a neighbor community to Woodstock. It is the heartbeat of the small Catskill town of Woodstock. This little hamlet of Bearsville was instrumental in creating the music revolution of the sixties. We took a stroll along the "Musical Walkway" in Bearsville Park, adjacent to the Bearsville Theater.
Thanks to Albert Grossman and his creation of the Bearsville Studios, this area quickly became a focal point for musicians from around the world.
It was here where Bob Dylan took the safe and cozy world of folk music and married it to Rock & Roll.
Bob Dylan moved to Woodstock to take advantage of Albert’s vision of a creative oasis, and others followed his lead, including Janis Joplin, Allen Ginsberg, Johnny Cash and June Carter, and George and Pattie Harrison. Albert attracted international acts like Muddy Waters, Meat Loaf, R.E.M., Patti Smith, The Rolling Stones, The Isley Brothers, Rush, and The Pretenders.
There's lots to enjoy in Woodstock. Sadly we had quite a bit of rain so we couldn't visit everything on our list. Guess we will have to return! 😊
Next we're driving north to the state capital of New York, Albany.
