Located about 30 miles north of Atlanta, the city of Woodstock is a hilly, wooded community with a long history -- pioneers arrived to farm the land around 1830. The heart of this fast-growing city is Downtown Woodstock, a vibrant shopping and dining district that's walkable, artistic, and trendy. Main Street provides a cozy feel with its historic brick buildings, wide sidewalks, and narrow alleys. Restaurants include the Salt Factory Pub, Reel Seafood, Century House Tavern, and Truck & Tap.
Downtown's quirky side shows up in a variety of ways, such as with Bob the Turkey, a sculpture that honors a longtime resident, and the Woodstock Train Caboose. Downtown Woodstock is close to the Dixie Speedway, the Taylor Randahl Mountain Bike Trail, the Greenprints Trail System, and Lake Allatoona. Bargain hunters head to the Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta, and theater buffs head to the Elm Street Cultural Arts Village.
