On March 30th, The Museum at Bethel Woods, located at the site of the 1969 Woodstock festival, will open for the 2019 season and mark the 50th Anniversary with the Special Exhibit We Are Golden: Reflections on the 50th Anniversary of The Woodstock Festival & Aspirations for a Peaceful Future. This exhibit includes authentic Woodstock artifacts such as Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane's bass guitar and world-class photographs from the 15 best photographers of the festival to serve as a lens through which the desires of the youth of 1969, the positive societal changes the festival inspired, and the wants and needs of contemporary youth are examined.
This is the inaugural event for Bethel Woods’ Season of Song & Celebration, which promises a uniquely memorable experience for those who journey to the historic site throughout the year.
