Historic Places

In August 1969, the Town of Bethel became the equivalent to the 3rd largest city in New York state overnight by the Woodstock Festival---3 days and nights of peace, music, and mud. Approve of it or not, it was a unique historical event unlike anything monument.jpg (20761 bytes) before or since and is probably one of the most talked about in the history of the Town. Currently, there is a monument at the site listing the performers. Some area businesses have memorabilia for sale or to view relating to this event.
