Interested in a Woodstock
Getaway in New York?
Everyone who comes to visit the beautiful area
of Woodstock is immediately inspired in their
own personal way. You might be motivated to go
hiking, jam on the guitar with your rock band
buddies, or paint some of the beautiful scenery.
No matter who you are, it’s impossible to deny
that there is a creative, friendly, and
comfortable atmosphere in Woodstock that will
have you feeling at home immediately. Woodstock
is nestled in the Catskills Foothills of Hudson
Valley. It has been known as the “Colony of the
Arts” since 1902 and is conveniently located
only two hours from New York City.
History of Woodstock
The first non-indigenous settler arrived around
1770. The Town of Woodstock was established in
1787. Later, Woodstock contributed some of its
territory to form the Towns of Middletown
(1789), Windham (1798), Shandaken (1804), and
Olive (1853). (www.woodstock-oxfordshire.com)
The Arts and Crafts Movement came to Woodstock
around 1902, and, afterwards, Woodstock was
always considered an active artist colony in the
19th and early 20th century, including playing
host to numerous Hudson River School painters.
The town is famous for lending its name to the
Woodstock Festival, actually held at Max
Yasgur's dairy farm 43 miles (76 km) away in
Bethel, New York in Sullivan County. (www.woodstockchamber.com)
