Home
to gorgeous mountain, fresh air, and some of the most beautiful real
estate on earth! Woodstock, one of the most famous small towns, also
known as “Colony of the Arts” combines small town
magic with the sophistication of the city. We have NYC caliber
restaurants, Byrdcliffe (site of the original art colony) and Overlook
mountain in our backyard. Woodstock is rich in history and cultural
heritage, still apparent in its world-class arts life and historic
homes. Back in the nineteenth century, long before our present fame, the
Woodstock, NY area was known internationally as a center for American
artists and crafts people.
The Arts & Crafts
movement came to Woodstock in 1902, with the arrival of Ralph
Radcliffe Whitehead and Hervey White. Ever since, Woodstock has been
considered an active artists colony, and shortly afterward the Art
Students League of New York City opened a summer school here. Hervey
White started the Maverick Concerts & it is the oldest running
outdoor concerts in the country. Today we are home to galleries that are
widely noted for exhibits of the finest arts and crafts. To complete
the artistic environment we also have important music venues upon whose
stages distinguished rock, classical, jazz and popular music
is regularly performed. All of this is set amid the most beautiful
scenery on earth.
