Story
In 1965, at the Newport Folk Festival, a young Bob Dylan revolutionized the folk scene by going electric and making rock the voice of a generation, defining one of the most transformative moments in 20th century music. Scenes shot to depict the 1965 Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, where Bob Dylan first played an electric guitar in public, were filmed in the resort town of Cape May, New Jersey. Minimal renovation was required given the station’s commitment to being designated a National Historic Landmark due to its concentration of Victorian architecture as well as other 19th and 20th century architectural motifs.
