The Story of Woodstock and the '60s at The Museum at Bethel Woods
The Museum at Bethel Woods offers one of the country's most impressive exhibits devoted to the 1960s. The award-winning The Story of Woodstock and the '60s follows significant events throughout the tumultuous decade, leading up to the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair, which was held on the spot where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts now stands. Located in the 6,728-square-foot Main Exhibit Gallery, this permanent exhibit is a vivid feast for the eyes, including 5 interactive productions, 20 films, 164 artifacts and over 300 photographic murals. Check out the iconic fashion, listen to the pioneering music and watch original, never-before-released footage from the festival. Before you visit, don't forget to grab your grooviest garb.
About The Museum at Bethel Woods
Take a technicolor trip back to the 1960s at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the site of the storied Woodstock Festival. Located roughly 100 miles northwest of New York City, the small town of Bethel became a legendary music landmark practically overnight when some 450,000 people descended on Max Yasgur's dairy farm during a rainy four-day stretch in mid-August 1969. Today, The Museum at Bethel Woods has become one of the area's top attractions for music and history buffs. Along with the main multimedia exhibit called The Story of Woodstock and the '60s, the Museum features annually rotating special exhibits — both inside the center and throughout the historic site — as the collection of '60s artifacts continues to grow. Hear stories about the 32 groups that performed at Woodstock, catch Jimi Hendrix's electrifying closing performance and head outside to make your way around the Bindy Bazaar Trails, which were at the center of the festival. The museum also offers an augmented reality tour, titled Meet Me at Woodstock, narrated by Nick and Bobbi Ercoline, the couple seen embracing on the iconic cover shot of the Woodstock album. The tour takes you straight to the muddy field with concert recordings and stories from those who experienced the magic and madness of the one and only Woodstock.
fantastic museum
by cueball on 9/29/25The Museum at Bethel Woods - BethelRating: 5 out of 5love this place. it's our second time visiting in as many years. wasn't alive at the time of the event but there is just something that draws me here. took the main stage tour this time and our tour guide was great. already thinking of when we can go back (next year) to visit and hopefully catch a show at the amphitheater.
A truly amazing place. Almost spiritual
by Gerry & Julie Watson on 9/20/25The Museum at Bethel Woods - BethelRating: 5 out of 5Incredible in every way. From the friendly and knowledgeable personnel, to the stunning film footage, the story telling, the artefacts, the mini tours and obviously to walk on the hallowed ground of the festival site. It was a pilgrimage for us and it delivered 50 fold.
Once in a lifetime concert
by Brenda on 9/9/25The Museum at Bethel Woods - BethelRating: 5 out of 5There was a wealth of info about Woodstock. So many pictures and videos of actual footage. Makes me wish I could have been a part and experienced it personally.
Great concert.
by Kitty on 9/1/25The Museum at Bethel Woods - BethelRating: 4 out of 5Great concert although we froze our butts off. The price of things were ridiculous and you were only allowed to bring in so much of your own things. Other than that great music great venue just make sure if it’s later in the summer bundle up!
Awesome experience
by Greg on 8/31/25The Museum at Bethel Woods - BethelRating: 5 out of 5First time at Bethel woods. They did a great job with the museum, the tours and truly paid homage to the history of Woodstock. If you are a music lover this is a must visit. May have even got a bit choked up at the site of the original Woodstock knowing the history and what was done there and the amount of work it took to get there. It's unfortunate that in these days and times that it will never happen again to get all those people together and be a peaceful event even with all the issues with food water and septic. I will definitely be back.
Great flashback

Fun History Lesson
by Oswald Cobblepot on 8/28/25The Museum at Bethel Woods - BethelRating: 4 out of 5The museum gives you information about the mood of the country and important changes that were happening in the US leading up to the Woodstock Festival in August 1969. There are stories and exhibits about the organizers, performers and attendees. In addition, you can experience a little of what it was like (minus the rain, mud, drugs and hunger) with concert footage and views of the crowd. It's fun, but if you go on day of a concert, get there early because it crowds up, and use the rest room in lower level before you enter main exhibit area because there are no rest rooms inside.
The Museum
by Robert E. on 8/27/25The Museum at Bethel Woods - BethelRating: 5 out of 5For anyone interested in the Woodstock experience this is it. The museum is packed with authentic clothing, records, and pictures galore. The staff was as inviting and helpful as you hope. I've never been to any attraction in my life where the staff was as friendly. I highly recommend the entire Bethel experience for all hippies young and old.
