I always have to correct people because they make the same mistake you thought I made. It's all good, tho.
Great place to be!

Ironically, as you know, many of the town of Woodstock's shops sell souvenirs and memorabilia of the festival - most tourists probably don't realize that it wasn't held there.

In the 18th century, Woodstock had different boundaries, in Greene County, and they changed in the 19th century. It's very confusing. I had it written out on paper a few years ago, when I was doing some genealogy, but can't remember where I put it.

Many people don't realize that upstate New York was a frontier, and still has a lot of untouched rural areas.
