Many of the exhibition images are custom-toned or hand- tinted by Stoddart. Stoddart\, who moved his fam ily to Middle Tennessee in 1972\, captured a now-vanishing way of rural li fe in the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee. A long-time resident of th e area\, he personally knew his subjects\, and\, in spite of the stereotyp ical views of the time\, which depicted his community as impoverished and ignorant\, Stoddart found beauty in the simplicity and strong work ethic o f the residents' everyday life. He was granted the rare opportunity to doc ument the daily activities of the Muddy Pond Mennonite Community\, where h is family shopped at the co-operative grocery.\nIn 2006\, the Stoddart cla n began hosting an annual Americana music festival on the family farm\, ap tly entitled\, Jammin' at Hippie Jack's. In 2008\, the music festival expa nded into a series of Jammin' at Hippie Jack's performances\, featuring or iginal singer-songwriters in the Americana\, Bluegrass\, Roots\, Folk and Blues genres. The series is currently broadcast on PBS affiliate WCTE-TV i n Middle Tennessee and in Nashville and 130 other PBS affiliates across th e country. Sessions are recorded at two locations: the outdoor venue\, 'Su ndown Stage'\, on Stoddart's Cumberland Plateau family farm and at the Sta te Museum's Buffalo Bill Stage in downtown Nashville.\nVisitors who attend the exhibition will be able to view previously taped performances from th e televised Jammin' at Hippie Jack's series. The public is invited to atte nd the free upcoming TV tapings and to visit the exhibit of Stoddart's wor k during taping intermissions. On the evening of November 20\, Jammin' at Hippie Jack's will feature ASCAP Songwriter of the Year and Grammy-nominee Darrell Scott with musician Kenny Malone. Audience members attending the December 18 taping will hear the music of Grammy-winning\, country/folk\, multi-instrumentalist Tim O'Brien. Both performances begin at 6:00pm at th e museum and are free and open to the public.\nThe exhibition continues th rough January 3\, 2010 at the State Museum. The museum will be closed on T hanksgiving\, Christmas and New Year's Day.\n\nStart time: Gallery Hours: \nTuesday-Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm\nSunday 1:00pm-5:00pm\n\nPlease Note: Th e museum will be closed on Thanksgiving\, Christmas and New Year's Day.
