Administrative Information

The Woodstock Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1922 by a group of local business leaders who sought to improve the local economy. Over the years the organization was responsible for many projects including the construction of the Woodstock Tower, local parades, town beautification efforts, business initiatives, and festivals. The organization merged with several other local chamber of commerce organizations in 2011 and changed its name to the Shenandoah County Chamber of Commerce.
