Woodstock Music and Arts Fair Monument

This picture of the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair Monument was taken at the site of Woodstock Music Festival at the intersection of Hurd Road and West Shore Road off State Road 17B in Bethel, New York.  I am being so specific here because the address of this site on the internet is not all that clear, at least for me it wasn't.  The Woodstock Museum is located at the Bethel Woods Center of the Arts building off Hurd Road approximately a half mile from the Monument.  The Woodstock Music Festival was a three (3) day event on August 15, 16, &  17, 1969.  I for one had headed out to Indiana for college at that time.  The stage location where the performers sang and played their music was down the hill and to the left of this monument.  West Shore Road to the upper far left in the photo had a bridge constructed above the road where the performers entered the stage.  There were many Rock and Roll Hall Performers here including The Grateful Dead, The Who, The Band, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) and Creedence Clearwater Revival to name a few.  As Joni Mitchell lyrics states in a CSN tune 'we were half a million strong' shows just how big this event was!
