Description: One lesser-known fact about Woodstock is that the festival site in Bethel, New York, wasn’t even the original location — it was a last-minute change after the town of Wallkill revoked the permit just a month before the event. Max Yasgur, a local dairy farmer, stepped in and leased his land to the organizers, famously defending the right of young people to gather in peace. His decision drew both praise and outrage from his neighbors, but it forever cemented his farm as the symbolic heart of 1960s counterculture.
