Woodstock Tercentenary (1686 - 1986)

The intersection of two turnpikes
brought about the growth of this
settlement known for many years as
Village Corners. The Norwich and
Woodstock Turnpike began in 1801 to
carry traffic northward to the
Massachusetts line. About 1827 Center
Turnpike opened; mail stages stopped
here on the way between Tolland and
Dudley and Needham, Mass.
A district school was built nearby
in 1798 and in 1831 a church, the
present church building was dedicated
in 1895. The Grange and other
groups met at Community Hall.

Clockmaker, silversmith Peregrine
White had a shop on the road to East
Woodstock before 1800. From 1815 to
1845 Woodstock Manufacturing Company
made cloth and carpets at Pond
Factory in English Neighborhood.
Between 1830 and the civil war many
businesses were active near Village
Corners: a hotel; at least two shoe
manufacturers; several firms in the
harness and carriage making trades;
a shingle mill; manufacturers of
thread and cotton goods; taverns,
dry goods and grocery stores; a
carpenter, a blacksmith, a post office,
a doctor, dentist and probate judge.

Donated by North Woodstock citizens. Nov. 22, 1986
In celebration Woodstock's 300th anniversary
