Woodstock
Welcome to Woodstock, a picturesque Victorian town built around a town square. Originally called Centerville, Woodstock was selected as the county seat of McHenry County in 1843 because of its location almost exactly in the center of the county. Over the decades, Woodstock has welcomed those who came to conduct personal, legal, and civic business on the Woodstock square, to work in Woodstock's typewriter, die casting, and other factories, to attend theatrical productions at the opera house and band concerts in the park. Woodstock residents and those from surrounding towns gathered in Woodstock to see McHenry County's service men and women off to war, to welcome them home and celebrate their safe return, to mourn those who gave their lives, and to honor all who served.

This is the town in which I grew up; though I moved away many years ago, Woodstock IL will forever be the place my heart calls home. This was a wonderful mini history of my home town, and it was wonderful to read about familiar names and see pictures of familiar places.
