Settled on the banks of the Meduxnekeag and St. John Rivers at the intersection of the Trans Canada highway and I-95, Woodstock, New Brunswick’s First Town, is rich in heritage and tradition. Woodstock boasts some of the finest 19th Century Victorian heritage homes, churches and civic buildings in the world.
Woodstock is a vibrant, prosperous community-the service centre of the Upper St. John River Valley. It is the retail and commercial hub of the agricultural, forestry, and transportation sectors in the regional economy.
When you are here, visit our shops, boutiques and dine at one of the many restaurants. Stroll the greenway, visit the Woodstock Farm & Craft Market, picnic on the greenway, or launch your own boat from the public docks right in the heart of downtown.
