Woodstock Community and Points of Interest

It is always great to have an exceptional organization that cares (truly cares) for the local senior community. It’s not just about lunches in this organization and it’s not even just about Seniors! See why this is such an integral part of the Woodstock Vermont Community.

Woodstock is very fortunate to have the Billings Farm & Museum at the heart of our town and history.  Be sure to visit this working, model dairy farm and museum while in town.  This is great place to bring the kids and is educational while also providing numerous special weekends throughout the year for hands on events.

The beauty of Woodstock and the surrounding hills is breathtaking. Interested in exploring some land for sale in Bridgewater?

Walk through one of Woodstock Vermont’s most beautiful landscapes, under the shade of sugar maples and 400-year-old hemlocks, across covered bridges and alongside rambling stone walls. This is a landscape of loss, recovery, and conservation.  This is a story of stewardship, of people taking care of places – sharing an enduring connection to land and a sense of hope for the future.

This park has always been magical for us. Taking a peaceful walk or an extended run on a large network of trails and interior roads is a regular summer event for both John and me. Large parcels of land exist in the greater Woodstock area. Touch base and we can shouw you areound.

Woodstock is fortunate to have such a beautiful public library, with an extensive collection of books, magazines, papers and other media available to the public.  Be sure to stop in, enjoy and join the library as a member.  Kids are welcome!

The library graces Woodstock’s Green and was built in 1883-1884 and designed by the Wilson Brothers, architects of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Woodstock has always been an unusually literate community: in the early 19th century, private academies, a medical college and reading circles flourished. Five weekly newspapers were published and the new library gave tangible, enduring form to this tradition.

Today, the library is a modern facility that respects its cultural, historical, and architectural histories while providing the best of contemporary library services. It serves the entire Woodstock area. The towns of Woodstock and Bridgewater support the NWPL through tax levies.

The NWPL is open to the public six days a week, including three evenings. Over the next few years its collection of books and media is expected to double to almost 70,000 offerings. For over one hundred years the NWPL has purchased books and other materials and lent them (or otherwise made them available) to area residents.

Our office is just across the street from this historic Woodstock landmark!

Carolyn Kimball manager of Elevation Clothing in downtown Woodstock tells us a little about the Ibex brand and the surprising facts we need to know about wool clothing. Elevation is the largest retail outlet of Ibex clothing and they carry Patagonia as well.  Add a smattering of very tasteful jewelry made by local artisans, and quality furniture and pottery by Shackleton- Thomas, and you have the perfect way to spend an hour or two shopping.  Come to downtown Woodstock VT and join the fun!

After that, stop on by our office and let’s go walk some Woodstock VT land parcels.
