Historical Society of Woodstock presents “Calico Rebellion”

The Historical Society of Woodstock is pleased to announce a screening of the historical film Calico Rebellion at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday July 19 at the Tinker Street Cinema, 132 Tinker St., Woodstock, NY 12498. Admission is $20 in advance from www.historicalsocietyofwoodstock.org, and $25 at the door (doors will open at 1:30 p.m.). All profits will benefit the Historical Society of Woodstock. Calico Rebellion recounts the story of the Anti-Rent War, which took place in the Catskill Mountains in the 1840s, when thousands of farmers, disguised in masks and gowns, organized a broad-scale rebellion to protest the outdated and exploitive feudal practices of elite, absent landlords. The film showing will also feature a discussion of the film and the historical events it depicts with director Victoria Kupchinetsky, producers Misha Gutkin and Peter Hutchison, and descendants of Calico rebels Burr Hubbell, Jim Andrews, and Marianne Greenfield.
