Bethel, Town in Sullivan County, New York, United States
Bethel spans across 90 square miles of land with multiple lakes, including White Lake, Silver Lake and Lake Superior State Park.
The town formed in 1809 from Lumberland territory, with initial European settlers establishing communities near present-day White Lake in 1795.
The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts maintains a museum dedicated to the 1960s era and presents regular performances at its 15,000-capacity amphitheater.
The town provides year-round recreational activities at White Lake, including fishing facilities, boat launches, and multiple access points for water sports.
In 1969, Max Yasgur's farm in Bethel became the location for the Woodstock Music Festival, drawing approximately 500,000 people to the rural community.
