Chronology

At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, a young Bob Dylan shakes up the folk music scene by going electric and singing rock as the voice of a generation—defining one of the most transformative moments in 20th-century music. Scenes filmed at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, where Bob Dylan first performed publicly with an electric guitar, were filmed in the seaside resort of Cape May, New Jersey. Given the resort’s commitment to National Historic Landmark designation due to its concentration of Victorian architecture, as well as other 19th- and 20th-century architectural motifs, minimal remediation was required.
