Historical Hootenanny

July 25, 1965, Appleton Post-Crescent

When people think of the '60s, they mostly think of rock and roll, but those years had a rich folk music tradition, particularly in the early part of the decade before the "British Invasion."  And as the years went by and the so-called generation gap really became a thing, what better family-style event could be had than an old fashioned hootenanny, especially when tied to Wisconsin history.
