Woodstock
is a tranquil town located in Windham County in the region of northeast Connecticut known as the "Quiet Corner." According to the guidebook, "1,000 Places to See Before You Die," this region is known for its "tranquility, history and pastoral good looks." Interesting to note: Woodstock is the second largest town in the state area-wise, but has a population of only around 8,000. It's a rural, historic town, settled in 1682 when the state of Massachusetts bought a tract of land that included Woodstock from the Mohegan Indian tribe. A group of 13 men settled here and named it New Roxbury. The town changed its name to Woodstock in 1690, and in 1749, it became a part of the state of Connecticut. Woodstock is known for its dairy farms and is also home to Woodstock Academy, founded in 1801. The town offers antique shops, craft and specialty shops, restaurants, and the Woodstock Fair, an annual tradition since 1846. Other attractions in town include Roseland Cottage, also known as The Pink House or Bowen House. Built in 1846 by businessman Henry C. Bowen, several U.S. Presidents were guests at the cottage. Ulysses S. Grant even bowled in the bowling alley located in the carriage barn. The pink-colored house is a fine example of Victorian Gothic Revival and features gingerbread trim, pointed gables, leaded glass windows and tall chimneys. The Pink House and estate is owned by Historic New England and is open to the public for tours.
