    About this ebook

    Woodstock Revisited is an invitation to do what people have been doing for over 200 years: take another look at Woodstock. The summer visitors of the 19th century and the artists and weekenders of the early 20th century beganthe trend of exploring the Woodstock area. Eventually, many who revisited Woodstock time and again decided to pull up roots and make this small upstate New York town their permanent home. In today's world, Woodstock has becomea refuge for a new generation of people looking for a balance between the rural, physical landscape of Woodstock and the benefits of nearby metropolitan areas.

    Janine Fallon-Mower continues to pursue her passion for preserving stories about Woodstock and the people who have lived here. In Woodstock Revisited, she has put faces to many of the names residents have been reading about over the years.

She also borrowed images from the Woodstock Historical Society and the Woodstock Library, for which she has served as a trustee for the past five years.

      WITTENBERG, BEARSVILLE, YERRY HILL, AND MONTOMA

      LESTER AND EDITH QUICK SHULTIS HOUSE. Built in the late 1700s, this house on Coldbrook Road saw three or four generations work the land, plant corn and hay, and keep pigs and sheep in lots on the slopes nearby. Beef and dairy cows grazed the stony land. Grandmother Edith would leave before dawn in a buckboard, taking butter and eggs to Kingston to sell, and would return home at dusk. (Courtesy Jeanne Shultis.)

      LESTER SHULTIS MILL BEHIND THEIR HOME, COLDBROOK ROAD. The Shultis family logged their land around Yankeetown Pond and transported the logs to the mill behind their home on Coldbrook Road. There were three ponds behind the house. Runoff from winter and spring rains was used to power the mill, turning the lumber into boards. Most logging was done in the winter when the ground was frozen. (Courtesy Jeanne Shultis.)

      ROLAND SHULTIS HOUSE. The home of Roland Shultis was located on Wittenberg Road, just west of the school and Methodist church. Rolly Shultis was at one time a town justice, a position which earned him a seat on the town board. The Wittenberg area was once referred to as Yankeetown and later South Woodstock. (Courtesy Jeanne Shultis.)

      THE WITTENBERG ONE-ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE. Three generations of Wittenberg students received a basic education in this little schoolhouse on Wittenberg Road. There were no busses, snow days, or hall monitors, only a wood stove that was tended to by the older boys and a privy out back. (Courtesy Helen Short Mower.)

      POSING FOR A CLASS PICTURE. Though the names of these students have faded into the past, the faces represent the Shultis, Happy, Short, VandeBogart, Reynolds, and Sagendorf families, to name a few. According to Sherman Short, the schoolhouse was painted red in the 1880s. (Courtesy Helen Short Mower.)
