| The Dana House was built in 1807 for village merchant Charles Dana. In 1943 it was sold by the Dana family to the Woodstock Historical Society and turned into a museum. |

Today, over sixty years later, the Woodstock Historical Society strives to preserve historical artifacts and promote history education through a wide variety of programs, including history camps for children, a monthly lecture series, museum exhibits, historic re-enactments, and local history publications. |
| In addition to the Dana House Museum, the Woodstock Historical Society has a research library, a photograph/document archive, an heirloom perennial garden, and a beautiful back lawn. This back lawn, with its picture perfect view of Woodstock village’s only covered bridge, may be rented for outdoor weddings, receptions and other special events. |
