The not-for-profit performing arts center and museum are located at the site of the 1969 festival. In 1996, Alan Gerry, a cable television pioneer, purchased the original festival field and the surrounding areas. The $100 million project was launched by the Gerry Foundation in 2004.
The center would open on July 1, 2008. it explores that experience of the 1969 Woodstock festival which includes a decade of radical cultural transformations. Since the surrounding area where the festival was struggling, this revived the area with the museum.
