Woodstock 1969

The 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair featured some of the greatest performers of the time and attracted an audience of 400,000. One of the most famous musical events of the 20th century, Woodstock continues to be a powerful symbol of the 1960s and the counterculture movement. In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of this cultural touchstone, a Featured Document exhibit highlighting the history and legacy of three day festival of “Peace & Music” will be on display.
