What is Community?
Home Heart & Hearth
There were a lot of conversations about Community, especially during Covid, as the area was changing so much. There was a huge influx of new people, as well as the basic struggle of how we come together in times of growth and hardship.

It does take a village and we are so grateful for your support. Help bring this year’s program to Woodstock…
Every town has their Hartland Hill
Why Hartland Hill?
Woodstock is like many communities around the world. We have beauty. We have history. And we have a distinctive feel, unique to our esthetic. Hartland Hill represents all of those pieces sewn together giving us our identity.
Hartland Hill is also the physical point that looks over the town.
It’s witnessed our growth over hundreds of years. It’s witnessed the Under Ground Railroad; Washburn’s office, historically referenced as “Pentagon North” in center of town during the Civil War; the clear cutting of Mount Tom and the subsequent birth of Conservationism; the Arts & Crafts and music of the 60’s and 70’s; River Road becoming a river during Hurricane Irene and a community coming together to rebuild; and in recent years, a recalibration coming out of COVID to grow, heal, and bring all that is special about our area forward.
