Trip to the Woodstock Museum!

The 6 of us meet at Willie to have breakfast together at 9:30.  Time for the Frankhousers and Martins to pack up for heading home!  We packed our lunches, said our goodbyes, and then left for the 1 1/4 hour drive to The Museum at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.  Ken really wanted to see this "tribute" to the Woodstock Festival and I was excited too!

Not at all what I expected!  I was looking for a "hippie" like building with wild colors, peace symbols, etc. but that was far from what we discovered.  This museum all about Woodstock and the 60's is so well done and very informative.  Many little movie presentation to watch throughout the museum and much memorabilia, including a colorful bus and VW Bug.  We enjoyed reminiscing about the 60's, since we graduated from high school in 1968 and got married in 1969.  The facts and info about Woodstock was very interesting too! 

This is the building that houses the Woodstock Festival Museum!

So much happened in the 60's!

This entire museum was so well done!

Our Graduation Year!

Our Wedding Year!

Were we really Hippies?????

What a line-up of singers!

Joe Cockers singing ended the Festival!

Then we walked outside to see the actual site of the stage and the area where all the people watched all the concerts.  The grounds of this area were beautiful and it really was a natural amplitheater.  

The building and the surrounding grounds are beautiful!

This is the outdoor stage for many top name concerts
throughout the summer!

The open area near the fence is the site of the stage
for the Woodstock Festival!  Easy to see why it was a
natural setting for the Festival!

The memorial to the Festival and a closer view of the stage area!

Back to Willie by 5:30 to do some prep work for our departure tomorrow, a quick dinner, and some cleaning of our canopy.  This has been a great area for so many exciting new adventures.  Really enjoyed our time here!
