What was the name of the farm where Woodstock 1969 took place near Bethel, New York?

Woodstock 1969 took place on Yasgur’s farm, formally the dairy farm of Max Yasgur near Bethel, New York.

The organizers originally planned to hold the festival in Woodstock or nearby areas, but they struggled to secure a suitable site. Max Yasgur rented part of his dairy farm in the town of Bethel, making the property available for the huge outdoor concert.

The site’s location is a frequent source of confusion. Woodstock was the name of the planned festival and the nearby artistic community associated with several performers, but the concert itself was not held in the town of Woodstock. It was held about 43 miles away at Yasgur’s farm.

The original festival site is now associated with Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. The center includes a museum and an outdoor performance venue, preserving the history of the 1969 event and its setting.
