If you’re looking for a charming and quaint village surrounded by picturesque views, then Woodstock is the place for you. Voted as one of the prettiest towns in America by Traveler Magazine in 2018, it offers both an idyllic countryside and New England charm.

 

From a lively tourism scene and seasonal community events to a personable, small-town feel, Woodstock has it all. Conveniently located in central Vermont, in Windsor county, it’s only 1 hour to Montpelier, 1.5 hours to Burlington, and less than 3 hours to Boston and New Haven, CT. 

 

Are you someone who enjoys spending their day exploring and adventuring outside? Hike along the Ottauquechee River Trail that runs right through town, or drive about 10 minutes to Suicide Six and 25 minutes to Killington Resort for excellent skiing in the winter and downhill mountain biking in the spring, summer, and fall. Regardless of the season, an absolute must-do is visiting the Billings Farm and Museum, a 150-year-old jersey cow farm and outdoor history museum to learn about rural Vermont life and sustainable agriculture. Plus, you can’t visit without trying their famous smoked cheddar!

 

Woodstock’s village is bustling with small businesses supporting local artists, farmers, great bookstores, and beautiful boutiques. Not to mention, Woodstock has a flourishing food scene that focuses on local ingredients. Be sure to visit Abracadabra Coffee Co. for a morning treat and Worthy Burger for craft beer and a juicy local burger!

 

The Woodstock school district is a part of the Windsor Central Supervisory Union (WCSU) with Barnard, Bridgewater, Killington, Plymouth, Pomfret, and Reading. Students often begin at the Woodstock Elementary School and transfer to the Woodstock Union Middle/High School for an education that revolves around cohesiveness, equity, high academic standards, and professional practice.

 

If you are looking for new employment opportunities, be sure to explore the WCSU, Killington Ski Resort, Suicide Six, local art galleries, Junction Fuels, ArborScape, Clark-Mortenson Agency, along with Vermont Insititute of Natural Science and Simon Pearce, only 10 minutes away in Queeche.

 

Living in Woodstock, you get to enjoy the best of both worlds by having a small-town feel with its close-knit community while enjoying the benefits of living in a town with attractions that people come from far and near to explore. One thing for sure is that when your friends come to visit, you’ll have a jam-packed weekend enjoying all that Vermont has to offer!
