Did you know the average age of a Woodstock Festival attendee is over 75 years old? As the generation of peace & love continues to age, the clock is ticking on capturing their stories before they are lost forever.
That’s why Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is expanding its Woodstock Oral History Initiative from upstate New York to across the country.
Tim Bruno spoke to Julia Fell, the Curator of Exhibits at The Museum at Bethel Woods, about the effort.
The Museum is committed to gathering at least 4,500 oral histories–roughly one percent of the estimated attendees. For more information, email OralHistory@BethelWoodsCenter.org.

Interesting. I went and I’m only 70. I know a lot of people who went and only one of them is 75. I would venture to guess the average age is more like 73.
