Woodstock Historic District

The Woodstock Historic District encompasses most of the historic center of Woodstock, Virginia. Founded in 1761, it is the oldest community in Shenandoah County, which is reflected in its architecture. The historic district is organized around three major north–south axes: Main Street (Virginia State Route 11), Water Street, and the right-of-way of the Norfolk and Southern Railway. It includes some of the best examples of residential architecture in the town from its founding into the early 20th century, as well as many civic, religious, commercial and industrial buildings from that period, and has been relatively little altered since the 1940s.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
