Connecticut State Route 169
Woodstock, CT

When Woodstock was originally settled, it was known as New Roxbury. A group of men known as the "Thirteen Goers" came from Massachusetts as a religious congregation to begin a new settlement. Much of the architecture and sites of the area can be attributed to them. Woodstock is a perfect example of a typical New England hilltop village, complete with early meeting house, graveyard, academy building, and several houses dating from Revolutionary times. Orchards are in bloom during the spring, but visitors will be able to enjoy the picturesque New England scenery year-round.
