About Woodstock History Center

The History Center, located in the heart of the village, celebrates the evolution of Woodstock over the past two hundred and fifty years. Visitors may tour the museum and view several new exhibitions each year. In addition to its museum, the History Center has an extensive library where researchers are welcome to view historical and genealogical information.

For those who prefer the outdoors, the History Center has perennial gardens and a beautiful back lawn with a view of Woodstock Village’s only covered bridge.
