The 1969 Woodstock Festival took place on Max Yasgur's farm, when four young men, Michael Lang, Artie Kornfeld, John Roberts, and Joel Rosenman approached Mr. Yasgur to lease his 40-acre alfalfa field to host a music festival.
The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival became one of the most famous gatherings in history when the tiny hamlet of Bethel was overrun with rebellious young people gathered for 3 days of peace, love, and music.
