The famed Woodstock Concert occurred on farm not far from here August 15, 16, and 17 1969. The original plan was to have it even closer in the Town of Wallkill which surrounds the City of Middletown NY. The funny thing about the location where it finally occurred is that it was in the Town of Bethal not in Woodstock NY at all.  The concert site is actually 90 miles from the town of Woodstock.  Today the site of the concert is occupied by the Bethal Woods Center For The Arts which is a great place to visit even if it is not the anniversary weekend.  In this video you will see the construction of the stages at Woodstock.  The Center for the Arts its on the same hill where you can view the same lake.   I will be heading up that way on some other day to provide you with pictures of a field trip to the museum and grounds.

True Claudette This was a pivotal point in our history.  The world seemed to change after this event.

Yes Michael.  I guess it was quite interesting to be here at that time. 

....and Understanding right back at you Caren

I thought it was neat Bob

LOL Richard.  I was a bit too young for the concert but of course many in my area actually did attend it.  The nurse at the middle school here and her husband are imortalized in the famous couple standing with the blanket around them.  She has spent the past few weeks speaking to reporters from all over the world.

Thanks Sheldon

It has been fun Leesa.  Where's the new pic?  Want to see the hair!

Me too Ann.  We were almost in the movie about to be released though  They wanted antique cars up there but we were unable to bring the Baracuda up for the shoot.
