Directions
and Other Good Stuff
Woodstock Square is conveniently located a few blocks west of Illinois Route 47 and is easily accessible from Routes I-90, Illinois Route 14, and Illinois Route 120. Woodstock is about 65 miles northwest of Chicago. From Chicago take I-90 West to IL Route 47 North; once on Route 47 go about 12 miles and look for signs to the Woodstock Square. It will be a left turn, shortly after you pass a McDonald’s on the left. There is parking in and near the Square.
From Milwaukee: Take I-43 to U.S. Route 12, South. 12 will merge with Wisconsin Route 120 just northeast of Lake Geneva. Stay on WI Route 120. When you cross the border into Illinois, 120 becomes Illinois Route 47. Continue going south approximately 12 miles through the town of Hebron to Woodstock, and look for the signs to the Woodstock Square. It will be a right turn, shortly after you pass the Jewel/Osco Food store on your left. There is parking in and near the Square.
From Madison: Take 90 South for about 40 miles to Route 14 EAST exit (around Janesville). Follow Route 14 East through Emerald Grove, Darien, Walworth, all in Wisconsin, and across border through Harvard, Illinois. Stay on 14 East through Harvard and into Woodstock. You'll pass Deeter's Restaurant on right, cross over Route 120 and see Claussen Pickles on left. Shortly after Claussen you'll get to a traffic light -- get in left turn lane and make left turn onto West Jackson (the sign on right says Kishwaukee Valley Road because W. Jackson becomes Kishwaukee on west side of Route 14). Go about a mile east on West Jackson -- you'll pass cemetery and park and St. Ann's Church on right. Keep going straight until West Jackson dead ends in Woodstock Square. Traffic is one-way counter-clockwise in Woodstock Square. Park anywhere around the Square or on surrounding streets.
Note: The rain location is at the Old Courthouse Arts Center, also on the Square.
