Thread Name: Help: Maggie's Farm - Origin?
Subject: Little Known Fact About Maggie's Farm
Here is what I believe to be a previously un-recorded fact about the origins of "Maggies Farm". In 1963 through 1965 if you took the Trailways bus to Kingston New York and the proceeded out by car toward Woodstock, a town in which Dylan hung out a lot, you could not help but see a large roadside sign for Magliore's Farm. I always believed that Dylan shortened "Magliore's" to Maggie's" The sign was prominent and could not be missed if you were coming up from the City.

But, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
