History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Max Yasgur


From August 15 thru 18, 1969, the Woodstock Music Festival took place on a Bethel, NY dairy farm. Owner Max Yasgur, pictured above, leased his property to promoters for a reported $10,000.

In 1984, this comemorative marker was erected at the Woodstock site.
