The epicenter of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant." The events that took place on Thanksgiving 1965 became a song, the song became a record, the record a movie. The movie was filmed in 1968 where the actual events took place on location at The Old Trinity Church, which became The Guthrie Center founded by Arlo Guthrie, and named for his parents, Woody & Marjorie Guthrie in 1991. The Center continues the Guthrie Family philosophy of a place for interfaith worship, cultural exchange especially with music and art, and of course a place to eat (during seasonal performances). 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" and the old church will celebrate in style with services and performances that will put a smile on your face and nourish your heart.
Hardly anyone there for the Thursday night hootenanny but had a great time. The 2 performers on a cold , February Thursday night were wonderful. The center oozes with good vibes.

Great place to view wildlife and especially exotic wild flowers and carnivorous plants like pitcher plants, sundews, and bladderworts.

I had no idea what to expect, since the sculptures are hidden from view back in the wooded area. You'd neve know you're right next to the Mass Pike. There are places to sit and relax and plenty of contemporary sculptures, large & small, to delight in scattered about. DEfinitely check it out!
