Max Yasgur was always a renter of the dairy farm at which the Woodstock Music and Art Fair was held.
 In August 2007, the 103-acre (42 ha) parcel that contains Yasgur's former homestead, about three miles (5 km) from the festival site, was placed on the market for $8 million by its owner, Roy Howard
=== Selection of the venue ===The original venue plan was for the festival to take place in the town of Woodstock itself, possibly near the proposed recording studio site owned by Alexander Tapooz
