A treasure nestled in the heart of McHenry County; it is history, with a future. Whether you come because of the schools, the culture, the countryside, the business opportunities, or just to be a part of its Victorian charm, Woodstock offers a million reasons to stay. Within the City itself, citizens can find diverse cultural and leisure opportunities. From the extensive park system that contains twice the national average of acreage, to the impressive Woodstock Opera House (a landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places) there is always something to do in Woodstock. Weekly summer band concerts by the City Band, a time-honored tradition since 1885, draw hundreds of residents to the historic Square for an evening of musical pleasure. And, if you want to take in a professional sporting event or enjoy the world class theaters and museums of Chicago and Milwaukee, these cultural opportunities are less than seventy minutes away.
