Woodstock Square Historic District, Victorian town square in Woodstock, United States.
Woodstock Square Historic District is a historic area centered around a park with brick-paved streets and surrounded by 19th-century buildings. The district contains an opera house, gazebos, war memorials, shops, galleries, and restaurants that line the perimeter.
The district emerged in the 19th century as a regional commercial and civic center, with the courthouse built in 1857 establishing its importance. Most of the buildings visible today were constructed between 1850 and 1920 during the area's period of growth and development.
The square functions as a gathering place where residents and visitors experience live performances and community events. The brick-paved streets and surrounding buildings create a backdrop where people naturally congregate for conversation and local celebrations.
The area is easy to explore on foot as shops, galleries, and restaurants are grouped within walking distance of the central park. Visiting works well any time of year, though seasonal events and weather conditions may affect what you can experience.
The square was used as a filming location in 1993 for a widely known comedy film, with scenes shot throughout the streets and buildings. This connection to cinema history remains noticeable for visitors who recognize the familiar settings.
