Were you one of the hundreds of thousands who attended (or tried to) the Woodstock festival in August of 1969? (We know some of you were because you have shared your Woodstock experiences with us.)
It is that shared experience that is behind the effort by the Museum at Bethel Woods, located on the site of the historic festival. The Woodstock Alumni Registry will make those who attended, tried to attend, or participated in the event a part of the Woodstock historical record.
Says museum director Wade Lawrence, "We invite Woodstockers from around the globe to join the database and tell their story about their festival experience. These unique and touching narratives help preserve history for generations to come."
The museum is observing Woodstock's 41st anniversary with an exhibit of photos, artifacts and memorabilia, many of which are being publicly displayed for the first time. Collecting Woodstock: Recent Museum Acquisitions will be on display through January 2.
