Woodstock for sale

Max Yasgur has put his 103-acre farm, barn and farmhouse near the original Woodstock site on the market for around $8 million, excluding the festival site itself.

Max Yasgur, the dairy farmer turned hippie icon that allowed his land to be used for the first Woodstock Festival in August 1969, has announced plans to sell off his 103-acre area. Yasgur, who was immortalised in Joni Mitchell's song 'Woodstock', has put his barn, land and 5,000 sq ft farmhouse on the market for around $8 million.

But never fear, the original Woodstock site isn't included in the deal as it's already being used as the base of the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, which features classic performances from Bob Dylan, Dave Brunbeck, and the New York Philarmonic.
