ON THE COVER

Woodstock’s first roundabout brings art and joy

Local artist Bobby Joe Scribner’s steel roundabout sculpture, “Whorled,” is already paying dividends. This piece has generated considerable discussion on social media, resulting in increased viewership from both locals and visitors. The landscaping and lighting have also increased public support, as the finished roundabout is an impressive addition.

Art placed at the center of roundabouts offer value to communities – acting as a gateway that reinforces the artistic, cultural and historic aspects of a city, increase identity and create stronger branding, attract tourism and more spending, and raise civic confidence and community pride. Other economic benefits include increased private investment interest, attraction of a skilled workforce, and higher occupancy rates of commercial properties.

“Whorled” is located at the Madison Street roundabout in Woodstock. This joint venture is provided in part by the City of Woodstock and Art4Woodstock (a 501c3 organization dedicated to facilitating public art in Woodstock).

A VIBRANT, HISTORIC COMMUNITY

At the heart of our city lies the iconic Woodstock Square, whose charm, history, and unique shops draw visitors from across the region. Yet the Square is only one piece of Woodstock’s story. Our community is also home to an incredible tapestry of independent restaurants, specialty boutiques, artisans, and manufacturers—including several who have chosen Woodstock as the location for their first U.S.based operations. Their innovation and dedication help fuel the continued growth and resilience of our city.

Woodstock shines through its beloved annual festivals, its award-winning Farmers Market, and its flourishing arts and culture scene, each contributing to the creativity, energy, and spirit that define our community. Whether you are here for a weekend or planting roots for a lifetime, Woodstock offers the warmth and inclusiveness of a community that welcomes all.

A COMMUNITY BUILT ON ORIGINALITY, KINDNESS, AND SERVICE

These values define who we are. You can feel them in the warmth of our residents, the passion of our business owners, and the dedication of employees who work every day to ensure Woodstock continues to shine.

Visit realwoodstock.com to plan your trip.

WOODSTOCK OPERA HOUSE

121 W. Van Buren St. (South side of Square) (815) 338-5300 | www. woodstockoperahouse.com

Standing at the center of the Woodstock Square, the Woodstock Opera House is a fully restored, modern performing arts venue rooted in more than 135 years of history.

Originally built in 1889, the Opera House has undergone thoughtful restorations ensuring the building continues to serve today’s artists, audiences, and events while preserving its historic character.

The most recent renovation modernized key building systems, audience amenities, and performance infrastructure, while carefully restoring historic features such as stained glass windows, tin ceilings, original woodwork, and hand-drawn stencil ornamentation. The result is a grand yet intimate theater offering contemporary comfort, accessibility, and advanced technical capabilities within an unmistakably historic setting. Now one of the oldest continuously operating theaters in the Midwest, the Opera House remains one of Illinois’ most recognized historic performance venues. Today, the Woodstock Opera House

operates as an active cultural hub for McHenry County and beyond, presenting a wide range of performances and community programming. Operated by the City of Woodstock, the Opera House supports and coordinates many of the community’s signature events, including City Band concerts, Movies in the Park, Groundhog Day celebrations, the Lighting of the Square, and other events at Park in the Square.

The Opera House is home to resident organizations including the Woodstock Fine Arts Association’s Creative Living Series, Theatre 121, and the Judith Svalander Dance Theatre. It also presents nationally recognized artists and performances ranging from bands and comedians to film screenings and live theatre; welcoming diverse audiences from across the region.

Beyond the main theater, the adjacent Stage Left serves as a secondary performance

space, featuring appearances by local and regional artists and offering a flexible setting for meetings and private events. The Opera House Community Room hosts receptions, special events, monthly art exhibits, and the beloved annual Christmas Tree Walk during the holiday season. With state-of-the-art amenities, flexible event spaces, and historic elegance, the Woodstock Opera House is not only a landmark of the past, but a vibrant, working venue that continues to shape Woodstock’s cultural life today.

OLD COURTHOUSE CENTER

101 N. Johnson St., Woodstock www.oldcourthousecenter.com

Located on Woodstock’s Historic Square, the Old Courthouse Center is a restored landmark that reflects the city’s rich history. Woodstock is known as the county seat of McHenry County, and this iconic complex has

long been at the heart of the region’s civic and cultural life.

Built in 1857, the Old McHenry County Courthouse—designed in the Italianate style by Chicago architect John Mills Van Osdel—is one of the few pre-Civil War courthouses still standing in Illinois.

Adjacent, the Sheriff’s House and Jail (1887) famously held labor leader Eugene Debs for six months following the 1894 Pullman Strike. These buildings served as the hub of county government until the early 1970s and are listed on the National

Register of Historic Places.

Following a careful restoration completed in 2023, the 30,000-square-foot complex now houses organizations that include Naturally McHenry County, the destination marketing organization for the County; Real Woodstock, the City of Woodstock’s tourism brand; the Woodstock Area Chamber of Commerce; Leadership Greater McHenry County as well as a restaurant and a large event venue. A new elevator provides full accessibility from the back

entrance, while modern energyefficient upgrades preserve the historic character. The Old Courthouse Center remains a vibrant hub where history, community, and culture come together.

A LITTLE HISTORY

Woodstock is proudly connected to Chester Gould, the creator of the legendary Dick Tracy comic strip. Gould lived in rural Woodstock for nearly 50 years, drawing inspiration from his surroundings while crafting the crime-fighting detective who would become a pop-culture icon.

First appearing in 1931, Dick Tracy gained national and international recognition through major newspapers and ran for decades, earning its place as one of the longestrunning and most influential comic strips of all time. Gould’s legacy remains an important part of Woodstock’s rich cultural history.

Located in the hear t of Woodstock, Woodstock Countr y Club blends timeless tradition with an inviting social atmosphere.

Enjoy championship golf, fine dining, and beautifully hosted private events, all in an elegant setting.

VILLAGE OF WONDER LAKE

The Village of Wonder Lake is the fastest growing community in the State of Illinois as announced by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2024.

The Hancock Drive business district was annexed into the village in 2024 and a $12M water/sewer expansion to serve the east side area is underway.

The Meadows of West Bay has completed construction and opened their park and boat launch on the lake. The Stonewater development continues to build towards its planned 3,700 homes which includes areas of retail and commercial activity. Their aquatic center opened during the summer of 2023 and expansions to the center are planned.

The Village has established a full-time Public Works, Building, and Water Department. This expansion of services places experienced staff in a position to provide responsive customer service during regular business hours.

The village was incorporated in 1974 as the Village of Sunrise Ridge with a subsequent name change to the Village of Wonder Lake. The population of the Wonder Lake area is approximately 15,000 with just over 4100 residing within the corporate limits of the Village of Wonder Lake.

The Wonder Lake community is privileged to be the home of the Wonder Lake Ski Show Team. Nationally recognized, they entertain on the lake nearly every Friday evening

during the summer. The community supports many clubs and organizations, the oldest social one being the Yacht Club. Sailboat races occur every Sunday in the summer. The Wonder Lake Sportsman’s Club, which is the oldest, actively helps manage wildlife in and around the lake. Fish stocking, bird management and wetland protection and restoration are part of their mission.

Numerous village sponsored events occur throughout the year. These include a winter holiday festival, a weekly summer farmers market, Fall Fest and the Fourth of July celebration. It’s an exciting time to be part of the Wonder Lake Community.

The Woodstock Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry is proud to serve the Wonder Lake community and welcomes all new businesses and residents to the area! Together we can be a cohesive voice in local matters. You can stay informed of new developments in the area, network with an expanded business community and engage with community leaders.

TOWNSHIP GOVERNMENT

Township Government is older than 1776. It originated in the mid-1600s, more than 100 years before our country became an independent nation. Township government in Illinois dates back to 1787, when Congress established the Northwest Territory and designated counties and townships within the territories. When the second Illinois Constitution was adopted in 1848 it gave counties the option to include townships in their governmental structure.

A majority of Illinois counties chose the township system in a general election of 1849, among them being McHenry County, where the voters almost unanimously chose township government in a referendum in November of 1849.

A Township, as a political and geographic subdivision, is a municipal corporate body that can sue and be sued, own property, borrow money

and levy taxes. The officials may act for the electorate in the Township’s name when conducting business. Townships have many duties and some permissive powers. Services expressly required of all townships include providing for welfare assistance, building and maintaining rural roads, assessment of property and preventing the spread of communicable disease. In addition to this, townships may establish libraries, medical clinics, museums, community buildings, public rest stations, mental health facilities and youth committees.

McHenry County is divided into 17 townships. There are generally eight elected officers in each township. These are the supervisor, clerk, assessor, highway commissioner and four trustees. The term of office for each position is four years. Terms are synchronous rather than staggered. The annual meeting of the township electors is held

the second Tuesday in April each year.

The Supervisor is the Chief Executive Officer of the township and is responsible for the township funds, serving as treasurer of all funds and records all transactions in an official book.

The Supervisor must file a statement of the financial status of the township with the township clerk. A summary of this report must be published annually.

One of the most important functions of the Supervisor is in the area of General Assistance. The Supervisor of General Assistance gives aid to the needy. Money used for this purpose is raised by local taxes and non-State receiving units, which applies to most of the 1,400 plus townships in Illinois. The money thus raised is used to provide food, shelter, utilities, medical care and burial whenever necessary.

EDUCATION

Woodstock School District 200 serves students in grades PreK-12 who live in the communities of Woodstock, Bull Valley, Greenwood, the west side of Wonder Lake, and unincorporated McHenry County. The school district was formed in 1969, when two elementary districts and one high school district consolidated, but education in Woodstock started in 1847. Today, our schools offer a strong standards-based educational program that is based on best practices and innovation but that is also rooted in the rich traditions of our 150-year-old community.

District 200 currently operates 12 schools: the Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center where all of the community’s youngest children begin their education; six elementary schools serving students in grades 1-5; two middle schools for students in grades 6-8; two comprehensive high schools; and the Clay Academy, a therapeutic day school for students in grades 3-12 with special needs.

A 2006 referendum allowed the school district to complete $105 million in school construction which included new elementary, middle and high school buildings, an addition to the early learning center, and the remodeling and conversion of a former middle school to an elementary school.

District 200 provides a wide variety of programs to help every child to succeed. Early childhood education, dual language, bilingual and gifted programs, Advanced Placement classes, career and technical training, and special needs programs strengthen the general education curriculum. A districtwide

focus on reading, writing and mathematics combined with the use of technology as a learning tool help prepare all students for success in and outside of the classroom.

District 200 high school students excel at the state and national levels in both academics and extracurricular activities. District 200 high school students perform very well on ACT and Advanced Placement tests, and our graduates attend some of the top colleges and universities in the nation. Elementary and middle school students consistently score above the state average on standardized achievement tests.

The Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center is a recognized model for early childhood education. Outside of the classroom, District 200 provides an extensive selection of athletic, fine arts, enrichment and extra-curricular programs. Students regularly excel at the state level in a variety of competitions, including music, mathematics, graphic arts and athletic events.

Located in Woodstock and established in 1959, Marian Central Catholic High School is a small co-educational, college preparatory school that makes a big impact. Each student receives a personalized education plan to ensure individual achievement, academic success, and personal growth. The Marian Central Advantage is the ideology that each student is a part of a tight knit learning group, where academics, spirituality, athletics, and student life come together as one family. Marian’s

academic program includes regular, honors, advanced placement, and dual credit college preparatory courses. 80% of the students achieve honor roll status and 97% of seniors are college bound at esteemed colleges nationwide. Over $17.6 Million in college scholarships were earned by

our Class of 2025 (86 students) and Marian Central continues to be the area leader in Illinois State Scholars.

Marian Central Athletics embody both a competitive spirit and skill, where sportsmanship and character are fostered in a motivating

environment. With 23 sports to choose from, students can compete on a variety of different teams. In addition to athletics, students also have opportunities to join our 35 clubs, activities, and extensive opportunities in Music, Art, and Theater.

We proudly welcome students from 35 area schools, both private and public. Marian Central has an inclusive transfer policy, where transfer students are admitted into our family at various times of the school year. Our top priorities include student safety, educating the entire person, instilling Catholic Christian values, and supporting our students as they grow towards future success. Tuition assistance and transfer grants are available, as well as daily bus service. For more information or to schedule a VIP Day for your child, contact Kaitlin Bordeaux at (815) 3384220 x125.

What began as a dream of collaboration has grown into a movement—a force for connection, celebration, and leadership in Woodstock.

BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN CULTURES

At the heart of our work is the belief that unity strengthens communities.  Recognizing a need for representation and understanding, we’ve dedicated ourselves to closing the cultural and social gap, ensuring that the Hispanic voice is heard, valued, and celebrated. We demonstrate how two cultures can come together, not as separate entities, but as partners in building a thriving, inclusive community.

Through our events and initiatives, we foster opportunities for cultural appreciation and shared experiences:

Mexican Independence Day Celebration: An annual highlight, this event brings thousands to the Historic Square together in celebration of Mexican heritage with music, food and so much family fun.

Day of the Dead: Hosted in collaboration with the Woodstock Opera House, this beloved cultural event honors traditions while educating and inspiring the community.

Cookies and Churros with Santa: In partnership with the City of Woodstock, this family-friendly event celebrates the holiday season with a blend of traditions, bringing joy to children and families alike.

In addition to hosting these events, we proudly have donated to non-for-profit organizations throughout McHenry County. We support scholarships and multicultural programs in our local District 200 schools, investing in the next generation of leaders. Since 2018, we have sponsored Hispanic candidates for the annual Miss Woodstock Scholarship Pageant, empowering young women to represent their heritage with pride and confidence.

JOIN US

Our journey is just beginning. The future of Hispanic Connections is as bright as the community we serve, and we invite you to become a part of our story. By joining us, you’ll become part of a leadership movement dedicated to creating opportunities and giving voice to the Hispanic community in Woodstock and McHenry County. For more information, call (815) 338-2436 or find our Facebook page, “Hispanic Connections Woodstock”.

Service Officers at the Veterans Assistance Commission provide services free of charge and are Accredited by the US Department of Veterans Affairs to present & prosecute claims on behalf of Veterans and returning Service Members and/or their eligible family members.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

In Woodstock, collaboration is at the heart of our success. Through public-private partnerships, we create a supportive business environment where companies can flourish and expand.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT

The City of Woodstock’s economic development team is focused on supporting the long-term success of the community’s existing businesses, entrepreneurs, and property owners. The team works closely with local and small businesses to understand their needs, respond to challenges, and identify opportunities for growth, reinvestment, and expansion within Woodstock. Economic Development staff serve as a connector between businesses and local resources, helping navigate questions related to operations, workforce, reinvestment, and available tools or incentive programs when appropriate. Through regular communication and relationship-building, the City prioritizes business retention and expansion efforts that strengthen Woodstock’s local economy and support a healthy, resilient, business community. When considering opportunities to grow, adapt, or reinvest your business, Woodstock’s Economic Development team is available as a resource and advocate. For information on local resources, incentive programs, and community data, visit www.ChooseWoodstock.com or contact the Economic Development Department at 815-338-3176.

WOODSTOCK AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY

The Woodstock Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry plays a vital role in driving economic development throughout the City of Woodstock. We connect local businesses with the tools, partnerships, and visibility they need to thrive, while actively collaborating with city leadership, regional organizations, and community stakeholders to attract investment and support sustainable growth. Through business advocacy, professional resources, marketing initiatives, and community-building events, the Chamber strengthens our local economy and enhances quality of life for residents, visitors, and the workforce. Our mission is simple: champion a vibrant, prosperous Woodstock where businesses succeed and the community flourishes.
