History
For over 100 years, the place of Woodstock Inn has figured into both local and national history, and has seen wagon trains, art studios, and adventurers thrive under its roof. What do wagon trains, the civil war, art design, quilts, and doll manufacturing have in common with Woodstock Inn? Read on and find out! Woodstock Inn was first built as the residence of Morris Short and family in the 1890's. Called Old Westport Road at the time, this road most surely saw the wagon trains that left Independence with all of the excited faces of westward pioneers headed onto the Santa Fe, California, and Oregon Trails. Every September, Independence celebrates these pioneers with Santi-Cali-Gon Days, a weekend filled with country music, pioneer crafts, homemade foods and sarsaparilla root beer for over 200,000 people attending the festival.
