About this city
Woodstock is a historic, wonderfully scenic mountain river town nestled snugly inside the deep limestone valley carved by the Pemigewasset River in the western White Mountain National Forest. Chartered meticulously in 1763, the town developed a resilient agricultural economy that was dynamically revolutionized in the late 19th century by the boom of commercial logging and grand wilderness rail tourism. Today, Woodstock expertly pairs its frontier pioneer heritage with progressive, community-driven mountain culture centered around rugged alpine trekking and extensive maple productions.
