Yasgur Farms Dairy Half-Pint Glass Bottle Bethel, NY Woodstock Festival

School Lunch Half-Pint Milk Bottle. Yasgur Farm Dairy was the site of the original 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Festival. In the 40s, 50s and 60s, local dairies delivered refillable half-pint bottles for use in school lunch programs. The date stamp on the bottom of this bottle is'56', which would make this bottle 64 years old.

In 1969, the promoters of the iconic Woodstock Music & Art Festival, commonly known as the Woodstock Festival, were desperate to find a venue for their event when the Hudson Valley community of Wallkill revoked their permits for fear that a large crowd would be too disruptive to the community. Woodstock promoter Michael Lang scouted potential sites in southeastern New York's countryside and identified a pasture on Max Yasgur's farm in Bethel/White Lake, NY, as the perfect venue because of its natural bowl shape and adjacent farmland that could serve as campgrounds and a helicopter pad for bringing performers to the stage. Yasgur agreed to Lang's proposal, and the rest is history. More than a half-million people converged on Yasgur's farm on Aug.
