Alan Baer, Architect and curator of the exhibition 'Psych Out!!!' poses for a picture with artist Susan Togut's installation 'Seasons of Transcendence' at The Byrdcliffe Colony on August 14, 2019 in Woodstock, New York. - The town of Woodstock -- a municipality 107 miles north of New York City -- didn't actually host the festival carrying its name, but rubbing shoulders with greats like Jimmy Hendrix was standard fare, said Heppner, who holds that his home town's artistic bent reaches back long before 1969. "We like to believe the spirit that gave birth to the festival started right here," said the now 67-year-old, who serves as the town's historian. Organizers of the Woodstock weekend, whose 50th anniversary starts Thursday, originally wanted to hold the event celebrating peace, love and music in its namesake town, long a haven for creative types including Bob Dylan. / TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Maggy DONALDSON, "'Magical' Woodstock: the town that lent the festival its name " RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY MENTION OF THE ARTIST UPON PUBLICATION - TO ILLUSTRATE THE EVENT AS SPECIFIED IN THE CAPTION Get premium, high resolution news photos at getty
