About Woodstock (New York)
The police cars have a logo that says "Colony of the Arts." Woodstock, at an altitude of 520 feet, sits among the Catskill mountains, and is a picturesque village without a single traffic light, whose shops largely cater to tourists and spread out only along a few blocks. Weekends and especially summer weekends find it crowded with visitors, while hippy-types play drums continuously in the village green. Year-round residents number only 6,300 (2020), and this includes outlying hamlets such as Lake Hill and Willow, all of which are beautifully unpolluted and tranquil.
