Lee tells the tale of Arlo and of the church belonging to Alice and Ray Brock.

Freelance creator and previous radio announcer Lee explores the history of Trinity Church in western Massachusetts, saying that “few churches… have had such a lot of distinct and fascinating rebirths.” Indeed, Trinity reflects many of The united states’s transformations in microcosm: within the Gilded Age, it was once a posh branch church of an Episcopalian parish. After it fell on hard times within the mid-20th century, it was once deconsecrated and purchased by a “hippie” couple named Alice and Ray Brock within the early 1960s. They converted it into a home and a haven for countercultural youth. It was once there, on Thanksgiving 1965, that musician Arlo Guthrie offered to take out the rubbish from the meal and threw it down a local hill. His arrest for littering, and subsequent night in jail, resulted within the famous 18-minute song-cum-manifesto referred to as “Alice’s Restaurant” and a 1969 movie by the similar name.
