Review:
Woodstock is in central Illinois equidistant from Chicago and Milwaukee. The historic city center has been honored as a Distinctive Destination by National Trust for Historic Preservation and the entire town is listed with the National Register of Historic Places. The charming Midwestern village offers retail shops, restaurants, bars and cafes in late 19th century Victorian storefronts. Annual events include the Fair Diddley Art Fair, Harvest Fest, and a Groundhog Days event to celebrate the town’s appearance as Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania in the 1992 movie of the same name. A historic Gothic style opera house hosts the Midwest Mozart Festival every summer.
