The festival, billed as 'An Aquarian Exposition: 3 days of Peace and Music' was held at Max Yasgur's 600 acre dairy farm in the Catskill mountains near the hamlet of White Lake in the town of Bethel, New York, in Sullivan County.
Bethel, New York is located approximately 43 miles southwest of Woodstock, New York which is in the adjoining Ulster County.
The festival officially lasted from August 15 through August 18, 1969.
Decades later the site was sold and is today the location for 'The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts' and 'The Museum at Bethel Woods'.
The center is still used today for music performances and the museum preserves historical pictures, videos and documentation of musical history in the area.
What were the accomplishments of Woodstock?
People from all around came to this music festival of a lifetime. It was 3 days of acceptance of who you are. The festival took place in a time of war and racial judgment. But this festival broke all judgments of what color you were what race you were and what back round you came from. Although the concert reached 500,000 people more than half the amount they accounted for there was little violence which people say is due to drug use. It also revolutionized Rock and Roll.
