In 1969, the sleepy little town of Woodstock, New York became a household word. Everyone was suddenly aware of where it was and what was (or wasn’t) there. It’s nearly 40 years later. What’s going on in Woodstock, now?
Long before the famous Rock Festival catapulted it into the spotlight, Woodstock was already a mecca for writers, artists and musicians. The oldest continuous chamber music festival in the country, the Maverick Concerts, has been hosted there since 1916 and the 350 acre Byrdcliff Arts Colony, a haven for artists of all kinds, has been around since 1903.
