Township of Woodstock Library
These photos are of the Maverick Festivals of the 20's & 30's.
This was the predecessor to OUR Woodstock. It was these "mavericks" of society...
these artists... that gave us the free-wheeling, "I'll make up my own mind, thank you.
Just chill out and let me party!" attitude that made Woodstock the original site choice for
Woodstock. Thanks to all of the forebearers for their influence.
(Besides, Bethelstock doesn't have the same ring!)
Max Yasgur's house
Max's barn
If Elliot Tiber is the "Hero of Woodstock", Max Yasgur's was truly its' "Angel".
We thank all who have contributed and invite all you other original attendees to e-mail a copy of your photos and join in the celebration of the event.
