This library ignites curiosity and connects our community to a world of ideas, resources and enriching experiences. It has a rich history. In 1905, the Carnegie Foundation awarded the City of Woodstock a grant for the construction of a library. In 1909, this beautiful building officially opened. Come and explore the space that continues to grow with the community.

In 1903, Woodville's original 1857 Town Hall needed a replacement, and money was raised for a new structure on King Street, which included a large performance space as well as space for village council meetings and administration. Now a rental venue and community hall, it has been lovingly restored by local residents over the years, including its striking wooden interior.

The Workers Arts and Heritage Centre, housed in Hamilton's Custom House, was founded in 1995 by a group of labour historians, artists, union and community activists who saw a need for a community museum that could celebrate the history of workers and labour. Since its founding, they have expanded their vision of work to be as inclusive as possible.

This creative cultural hub is a prominent neighbourhood feature, its tenants representing a dynamic mix of artistic practices, community services and cultural interests. The large courtyard space in Barn 2 plays regular host to art and craft fairs, community-focused special events and more. Many people know this place through the Stop Community Food Centre's popular farmers' market. (Photo: Ted Chai)

Built in 1888 for industrial use by Gooderham and Worts, the Young Centre for the Performing Arts was adapted and reopened in 2006 as a performing arts facility with much of the original architecture still intact.
