Baird Machines is a historical Woodstock industry that has served the community since 1890. Founded by Scottish-born William Baird, the operation has moved several times over the years. In 1915, a garage was added to help service automobiles. At the time, it was the largest garage in Woodstock. Today, it provides custom welding, metal fabrication and a CNC machine shop.

As the St. Paul’s congregation grew, this church was constructed. The congregation moved to this new St. Paul’s in December 1879. Some of the congregation was displeased and wanted to return to the “Old St. Paul’s" church, which re-opened in May 1882. The building has a First World War rose window memorial that was installed in 1932.

Museum Square is located outside of the Woodstock Museum. At the centre of the square is the Pattullo Fountain, which was purchased with a bequest left by Andrew Pattullo, a local businessman and newspaper owner. Formally turned on at a ceremony on May 29, 1917, it has operated here since. During Doors Open Woodstock, enjoy Fall Fest in Museum Square.

This designated church, constructed in 1834 shortly after the founding of the community, was funded by British naval officers Admiral Vansittart and his agent Captain Andrew Drew (who were partners on a farming estate here). During the Rebellion of 1837, the church also used as a jail. The chancel and transepts were added in 1843 and 1851 respectively.

Come join them at WAG where they will have tours of the building and a historical slideshow.
