Around the green and along the main road following the river are a number of residential, commercial, and public buildings showcasing architectural development from the late 18th to late 19th centuries. One of these buildings is The Norman Williams Public Library, built by Norman's son, Dr. Edward H. Williams, on the site where their home had stood previously.

In 2011 the Downtown Woodstock Streetscape was listed by the American Planning Association (APA) as a "2011 Great Place in America" under the "Streets" category. The APA specifically focuses on streets that are complete, meaning that the street services all forms of use and not just vehicle use.
The area streets specifically recognized by APA are North and South Park Streets, one block of Elm Street between Pleasant and Central streets; and two blocks of Central Street between Pleasant, North Park, and South Park streets. Woodstock itself is built in early 19th century New England architecture. Near the center of Woodstock is "The Green", which is used for weekly farmer markets in the summer and autumn. Woodstock is a quaint New England town with a historic and lively atmosphere perfect for exploring on foot.
In 2006 the State of Vermont created a district for tax credits and other state provided incentives for smart growth along the downtown streets. Currently Downtown Woodstock boasts a free trolley during the summer months that is powered by electricity generated from cow manure from local farms. [9]
