Where is Woodstock?
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
No, I didn’t make it to Woodstock during the summer of ‘69. I was working at Yellowstone National Park with a bunch of other college kids from across the U.S. The highlight of our summer, in addition to seeing bears and bison and other wildlife, was watching Neil Armstrong’s moon landing on the lone TV in the lodge at Canyon Village.
For years I assumed that Woodstock was held in Woodstock. It wasn’t. The three-day peace and love fest was held on the other side of the Catskills in Bethel, New York. CBS Sunday Morning’s Steve Hartman reports about it here.
