There’s a Plaque for a Fanny Stone

In front of the parking lot for Woodstock's Municipal Offices is a tall stone and a historical marker.  It is actually titled Fanny Stone.

This stone was originally used to keep carriages and buggy traffic from turning too sharply onto the very narrow street called Effinger's Alley, now known as Locust Street. The stone reportedly received its name because local folks would sit on it and visit with their parents and neighbors.

Well, now there's a bench nearby where you can sit.  Also nearby are some quaint shops, including this vintage decor shop called Three French Hens.
