From the Paper:

"The Woodstock Music and Art Fair in 1969 drew more than 450,000 people to a pasture in Sullivan County. For four days, the site became a society in which minds were open, drugs were all but legal and love was "free". The music began Friday afternoon at 5:07 pm August 15 and continued until mid-morning Monday August 18. The festival closed the New York State Thruway and created one of the nation's worst traffic jams. It also inspired many local and state laws to ensure that nothing like it would ever happen again. Nonetheless, thirty years later Woodstock '99 takes place in Rome, New York."
