Hi Everyone… My name is Joanne Hague, and I was a leader in the efforts which pursued the historic preservation of the original Woodstock site. For those interested… There is a new Woodstock website online which is not only about Woodstock 1969, it’s about Woodstock: then and now, and may be one of the best sources of Woodstock information for the interested public and students alike. This website highlights not only the efforts that pursued the historic preservation of the original Woodstock Site, it also features a multitude of information, photos, video, audio and more from 1969 to the present. What’s also important here, and what I want for all people to realize about themselves, is that everyone can make a difference - even if it’s just a few, with determination - things can change. Our efforts to preserve the Woodstock Site have come to an end, but I want everyone to know that there was only 6 of us, without legal or financial backing, that went up against the Bethel Woods plans and the richest man in NY State and were successful at seeing a 90 percent downsizing in the project. Our website is vast. It not only chronicles our efforts but it has something interesting and different on every single page. It also serves as a learning tool for other grassroots organizations, and we provide first-hand information given from Woodstock Veterans to students working on projects. I assure you that this website is fun, interesting, educational and informative, and in the spirit of the original Woodstock advertisement catchphrase, the Woodstock Preservation Archives provides "Hundreds of Acres to Roam On." We invite you to visit - spend some time, and take a look around. I look forward to comments or questions, or to share a discussion.

Thank you Joanne, I am familar with your work and your efforts to preserve the original Woodstock site. You guy's made tremendous strides against unyielding odds and for that undeterred effort. I take my hat off to you and your fellow associates.
Did I email you before about your name? John Muir wrote: "How to keep your volkswagon alive -- a step by step procedure for the complete idiot." During the early 70s, it was an essential document. thanks Robert Eggleton "Rarity from the Hollow" (my first novel)
