woodstock museum national historic site

I visited with a couple of family members who had grown up in Woodstock, though hadn't been through their museum before. Judging from the numerous nostalgic memories triggered by the displays I have to give credit to the staff's excellent job showcasing their history. For an outsider I still enjoyed many displays. The penny-farthing bicycle, quiz game, restored civic chamber, and historic area map especially stood out. Farming heritage is well represented and given concise but informative descriptions. The museum is small and can be thoroughly enjoyed in less than an hour, but varied and interesting enough that I'm glad I had the chance to see it. The surrounding grounds and old part of town are also well worth exploring.
