Stand and look over a field once filled with hippies. It happened in August 1969, nowhere near the town of Woodstock, a directional bane to generations of later tourists.

The Woodstock Festival monument is well taken care of. It's even accessible with snow on the ground. We don't often get a winter view of Yasgur's Farm.

Behind a nice row of shrubbery you'll find the monument. But for us, there was a guy and gal gazing out over the Woodstock amphitheater ground; she looked like she was getting dressed! Buttoning her top and then putting in earrings? Ugh! They were young enough to not have been conceived there and old enough to know better! It's not the '60s anymore for pity's sake! My Tip: Make some noise as you come around the hedges.

The Woodstock Festival monument gets repainted every year by a local artist named Mikey. He has a cat he named "My Kitty" because she said it sounds like Mikey.
