The idyllic village of Woodstock, situated on U.S. 4 between Rutland and White River Junction, attracts many visitors with its old-world beauty. So we decided to visit it when we were in Vermont.
Woodstock, Vermont was the winner of the 1997 National Contest conducted by the Ladies Home Journal magazine as the "Prettiest Town in America", it was chosen as the community with the most beauty, charm and character. And when you get there, you will agree with them for choosing this town as the prettiest.

The village green is lovely and is surrounded by handsome stately homes with architecture dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries. On the village green stands the Middle Covered Bridge which goes over the Ottaquechee River which flows through the center of the Village.
