Built in 1833, the Old Court House was used as a horse barn from the 1883 construction of a new court house until 1966. Purchased and restored by the Carleton County Historical Society, it was designated as a protected heritage site in 1977. Ask to see the Judge's Chamber. The Victorian Christmas Concert is held here on the last weekend in November.
Public library on Main Street in the heart of town, designed and constructed early in the 20th century from part of the fortune which Woodstock's first mayor L.P. Fisher left for the civic betterment of the town. A heritage building and a busy working library, it also houses three specialized collections: the Dr. G.F. Clarke collection of Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) artefacts; the local historical and genealogical reference books and manuscripts of the W.O. Raymond Room; and the Dalton Camp Canadiana collection. The latter are both named for and in part provided by writers whose roots were in Woodstock. a modern section was completed in 2015
The Honourable Charles Connell House, built in 1840, was once the home of politician Charles Connell. Now a museum which contains authentic artefacts from that era, it houses the Carleton County Historical Society's archives.
The Meduxnekeag River Valley is the New Brunswick heart of a rich and unique type of hardwood forest. Containing many provincially rare and uncommon plant species, the surviving scattered patches of this "Appalachian" or "St. John River" hardwood forest occupy only about 1 percent of their original extent. The Meduxnekeag River Association has purchased and protected the Preserve, creating a well-marked 10 km network open year round to the public.
