FULL EPISODE: Woodstock, Illinois | Main Streets

Woodstock, Illinois, is a picturesque small town mixed with a little bit of tinsel town.

Woodstock, Illinois, may have been put on the map by the movie Groundhog Day, but it’s what John McGivern finds in real life that deserves the spotlight. Beside the movie tour stops, places like Cherry Tree Inn, Boss Straws, Ethereal Confections and Dented Gate Flower Farm make Woodstock the perfect little community.
