Description: Black and white advertisement for the 1969 Castle Hill Summer Festival at Crane's Beach in Ipswich, Massachusetts. The program took place over the first two weekends in August. The first weekend featured folk music, headlined by Arlo Guthrie (b. 1947); the second weekend featured jazz music, headlined by Nina Simone (1933-2003). The ad is vertical with text in different fonts, and there are two illustrations of Guthrie and Simone. The festival is presented by jazz promoter George Wein (b.1925), co-founder of the Newport Folk Festival. Established in 1951, the Castle Hill Foundation was a group separate from the Trustees of Reservations that was established to guarantee the continued existence of the Castle Hill property.
