Next Stop: Typewriter City

Why are there typewriters all over Woodstock? That’s exactly what we’re finding out! In this pilot episode of Next Stop: Woodstock, Heather Arnold and Jason Ryan Lovett sit down with Michelle Thimios to uncover the story behind Woodstock's unexpected connection to typewriters and the Typewriter Trail in Woodstock, Illinois. Michelle shares how the trail came to life, why typewriters became such an important part of Woodstock’s story and what visitors can discover at 14 locations throughout the city. We also take a closer look at a book connected to Woodstock’s typewriter history, talk about the typewriter display at the Woodstock Public Library and bring a very cool typewriter into the studio for our Next Stop Show & Tell. Plus, Michelle takes on Square Seconds and shares her personal Woodstock recommendation. Learn more about the Typewriter Trail at RealWoodstock.com.
