I don't know if you enjoy audiobooks, but I listen to them all the time. One such offering very relevant to where you're going is Small Town Talk by Barney Hoskyns.

Are you wanting to visit the town of Woodstock, or the site of the Woodstock Festival in Bethel?
The site has been preserved as The Bethel Woods Center for Performing Arts. There is an amphitheater for modern day performances, plus a museum that details the days of the festival. The actual festival grounds are just down the road, with a monument overlooking the natural amphitheater where the action took place. The outline of where the stage was is still in place, and you can walk around the grounds at your leisure. More info here: Bethel Woods Center for Performing Arts We were there for the 50th Anniversary Woodstock celebration. Wifey and I were both too young at the time to even think about making the trek from the deep south to upstate NY (no, we had not met yet), but the event was still a defining moment for us. So when Wifey got word of the 50th anniversary celebration, we were on for the trip. It was a great time for the three days we were there. HTH D

Small Town Talk; who's that guy on the back of Dylan's Triumph?
I loved the book and I learned more about the music history of this area by reading it, than I did from being here for 30 years. For things to do, it looks like you'll be kept pretty busy by the schedule of your camp and there's not much near you. Woodstock is about 30 miles from you and the first time you see it, it's pretty much a letdown. It's really just a little bend in the road. Music is alive and well again in Woodstock. You can look at Levon's Barn, the Bearsville Theatre, the Coleny Cafe and the Tinder Street Tavern. If you're hungry as you get close stop at the Phoenicia Diner https://www.phoeniciadiner.com/. It's not you average diner, the food is great and it's right on RT 28 just before you get to Phoenicia and you'll be about 10 miles from the Full Moon Resort. Your camp sounds fantastic, you're going to have a great time. If you have any specific questions, let me know. I'll try to help. Last edited by lowrider; 08-04-2022 at 03:56 AM.
