The Historical Society of Woodstock is excited to announce plans for the installation of a modern archive and research center
The Historical Society maintains an archival collection of over 10,000 items covering the breadth of Woodstock history – from the 1700s to today – and a fine art collection of over 800 works. It has been our long-sought goal to maintain those collections in a safe, environmentally sound storage facility. Now that goal is within sight.
It’s your history. Help us preserve it.
Permanent Exhibition
The Tool Shed exhibit highlights some of the stories of the people of Woodstock through the tools they used from the mid-1800s until the mid-1900s. They represent farm families, tradespeople, and merchants. The tools on display show a sample of the types of work in which these people engaged.
Our Vision
The Historical Society of Woodstock will be the common thread that weaves together the rich and colorful tapestry of Woodstock, inspiring our community through a collective appreciation of our past.
About Us
The Historical Society of Woodstock was founded in 1929 by a group of artists, writers, academics, and local citizens. In addition to the exhibition space, which is located at the historic Eames House on Comeau Drive in the center of Woodstock, the Historical Society has an extensive archive consisting of paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, textiles, photographs, books, manuscripts, correspondence, documents, film/sound recordings, and antique tools. The archive serves as a resource for a wide range of exhibitions, public programming, and research.
