the 1969 woodstock festival will go down in history as the most famous contemperary music venue in 20th century america. this event was not held in woodstock new york but in nearby bethel. for those of my generation a short list of the acts at woodstock: joan baez, arlo guthrie, ravi shankar, richie havens, jimi hendrix, the grateful dead. joe cocker, janis joplin, country joe & the fish, the band, santana and so on. in my opinion not a must see site in the catskill region of new york but for lovers of 1960's music and culture it might be worth a pilgramage.

a very interesting place to visit in the rhinebeck area is the vanderbilt mansion. built in 1895 on six hundred acres on the the east bank of the hudson river is one of america's best examples of "gilded age" architecture. the vanderbilt family was one of the "robber barons" who profited from the post civil war posperity in the northern states. while the south was recovering from the civil war radical reconstruction the northern states experienced an economic boom. family's like the vanderbilts, the morgans, and goulds made millions during this period in american history.

the beekman arms is the oldest inn in constant operation in america. worth visiting is the tavern at the beekman to get a taste of life in the late 1700's. george washington was once a guest at the beekman arms.
