Marshall House North Gallery 
Welcome to The Woodstock Museum of Shenandoah County Virginia!
The Woodstock Museum will kick off it's 40th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday August 22, 2009 from Noon until 4pm. The event will be an outdoor affair, held on the lawns at both the Marshall House and Wickham House Museums - and both Museums will be open to the public.
Crafters and artisans will be exhibiting their skills and will offer their wares for sale. There will be live music and an ice cream social. Folks in period costume will be roaming the grounds, Williamsburg-style, offering interpretations of the time period. The Museum's latest addition, the Baughman Family Collection, representing the 1807 estate inventory of Henry Baughman II will be on display, with Henry himself possibly present that day.
Mark your calendars for this spectacular event and thank you for supporting The Woodstock Museum!

An example of early log construction in Woodstock, the Wickham House is built of logs but covered with weatherboarding. Located at the end of the historic Lawyer's Row, it is believed that this house is an extension or adaptation of an original building dating back to the late 18th century. The house has an interesting history.
