The Church The front of the Guthrie Center. The Guthrie Center is in the old Trinity Church, Great Barrington, Ma., and is the actual location where Alice and Ray lived and where Arlo and a friend cleared the garbage out on Thanksgiving day 1965. Arlo bought the church building in 1991. Note the peace symbol in the round window near the top of the tower at left. This site was also used in the Movie Alice's Restaurant (1969). DW5D2679_1_large
