Woodstock Museum presents a film tribute to the 40th Anniversary of '69 with it's new release
"HIPSTORY: Woodstock the Town, the Festival(s) and the Notion", shown as part of the tour,

HIPSTORY shows an historic chronology from Woodstock to Bethel, Saugerties, Rome and beyond, featuring related gatherings, festivals and Woodstock's official sister city, Nimbin, Australia (surrounded by 200 intentional communities), re-birthed after the 1973 Aquartius Festival, Australia's answer to Woodstock.. Discuss the museum's vision with founders Shelli Lipton and Nathan Koenig. Hear what historian Alf Evers said about it.

The film HIPSTORY premiered at the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS) national convention held this Spring in NYC. Norman Prusslin, President of IBS and Faculty Director of State University of New York (SUNY)-Stony Brook gave it a thumbs up when seeing Jimmy Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner from the '69 festival, illustrated with images of war and peace.

Student comments ran the gamut, "Do you think Woodstock now has a bad name because of the Rome concert? I never knew the real legacy of Woodstock was so much more than the music." "Woodstock has a sister city in Nimbin, Australia?" "It's amazing how the White Buffalo appeared at the The 1st Rainbow Gathering and the Hopi prophecy about the return of the long-haired, people of peace that sounds like Hopi."

Here's what the Director said "I would like to sincerely thank you for your participation at this year's IBS conference, and for putting together what turned out to be an amazing presentation. The reviews that we have received have been universally positive, and we greatly appreciate all the work and effort you put into your presentation at the conference. We hope that you will be able to join us again next year for IBS 2010 in NYC."

Said Kelly Arthur, "After viewing your film I realized that the values I grew up with as a child of the '60s were important, VITAL to today's youth! My momtook me to war protests and enrolled me in an inter-racial school across town so that I would be exposed to something other than a "whitebread" suburban life! Through art, creative writing, music and other fields, I want to teach a group of 10 girls, ages 10-12 from around the country, peacemaking skills. I believe that this generation of kids is becoming more and more insular and need to be made aware of the world around them, environmentally, politically, socially. I think your work is amazing and sorelevant. I'd love to share you with the peacemakers of the future." The spirit of Woodstock livesin the hearts and minds of folks around the world.
Says museum co-founder Shelli Lipton, "Flower Children" are those of us more closely
connected to the earth. That sounds like most of us." Says Nathan Koenig at the beginning of each museum tour, "The hippies were right!"
