Welcome to Woodstock,Illinois
A National Trust
Distinctive Destination
Located in scenic McHenry
County and just a 70 minute ride northwest of Chicago, Woodstock,
IL has a
unique and beguiling character. Woodstock's breathtaking 1890's town
square and downtown historic district offer a distinctive collection of
shops, restaurants, galleries, theatre, and clubs in a friendly,
historic, market town.
Innovative and creative entrepreneurs provide a superior shopping, dining, entertainment, and
"staying over" experience. Offering a wide selection of
exclusive goods and services that cannot be found elsewhere, this is a
town that offers real choice, beyond the shopping
experience of malls and chain brands.
 In 2007
Woodstock was recognized as one of twelve Distinctive Destinations in
the United States by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
