37. Woodstock Was Held on Private Property
The hosts who offered their property for the festival were Max and Miriam Yasgur of Bethel, New York. There were so many complaints from neighbors that they were no longer welcome in the town’s general store, but Mr. Yasgur said of the event, “You are the largest group of people ever assembled in one place at one time… and you have proven something to the world… that half a million kids can get together for fun and music and have nothing but fun and music.”
