Yasgur's Farm

Yasgur's Farm was a large dairy farm in White Lake, New York, owned by Max Yasgur. It became famous as the site of the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Festival, a pivotal event in American counterculture. The farm was temporarily transformed into an open-air music festival that drew hundreds of thousands of attendees, despite initial concerns about logistics and community impact. The event highlighted ideals of peace, music, and social change, making Yasgur’s Farm a symbol of the 1960s-era youth movement. Today, the site is recognized for its historical significance in music and cultural history.
