Max Yasgur sued by local farmers for $35,000 for damages caused by the 'Woodstock' Music Festival
Five months after the festival, on this day, Yasgur was sued by some neighboring farms for $35,000 for damages they’d suffered during the festival. He’d run up another $50,000 in costs for hosting it (for which he was to be paid). But by then Yasgur was well aware that he had also hosted history.
