Real charm. Real fun. Real easy to get to. 47 miles from Chicago, Woodstock is on the edge of the Chicago metropolitan area. We’re close to the city with a small town, rural personality all our own.

Rich with Victorian architecture, a town square that seems frozen in time, and a world-renowned Opera House, Woodstock also has an independent streak brimming with creativity and entrepreneurship. Artists and locally-owned businesses are embraced. Our school system is a leader in dual language education. And music, whether rock, folk, jazz, country or classical, fills the air indoors and out most every night.

While you’re here, grab a bite to eat on the historic Woodstock Square, see a film at the Woodstock Theatre, then stop by the recently created Woodstock on Film and on the Stage Mural and Sculpture Garden. Or, spend the day at one of our berry farms or apple orchards. We are home to one of the top farmer’s markets in the country, a world-class chocolatier, charming boutique stores and many award-winning bars & restaurants. Named a Preserve America Community by the White House, Woodstock is a community unlike any other.

Plan a visit. Grow a business. Put down roots. Make a life here in Woodstock.
