People from the Museum at Bethel Woods are traveling around the country gathering tales and memories from people who attended the historic 1969 Woodstock Festival. With the bulk of the attendees now in their 70s and 80s and some of them deceased, the museum is embedded in a five-year initiative to debunk legends. They have obtained over 500 testimonies from people who have served in WWII using methods similar to WWII historians. They're expanding their search this year, heading to Boston and New York City in early April, where they estimate half of the Woodstock crowd still lives.
