Editing Woodstock, Illinois (section)

===''Groundhog Day'', 1993===
Woodstock is perhaps most famous for its role as the location for the 1993 movie ''[[Groundhog Day (film)|Groundhog Day]],'' starring [[Bill Murray]]. Although the story is set in [[Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania]], the movie's producers preferred the quintessentially American, but non-specific backdrop of Woodstock Square and its surroundings. Outdoor and street scenes were filmed around the downtown and various side streets, and signs from stores and businesses are visible throughout the movie.<ref name="autogenerated1993">{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107048/locations|title=Groundhog Day (1993)|work=IMDb|access-date=31 March 2016}}</ref>

Many notable scenes' locations are commemorated with plaques as part of a walking tour for visitors and enthusiasts.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://woodstockgroundhog.org/pages/tour.html |title=Every Day is Groundhog Day in Woodstock, IL! |publisher=Woodstockgroundhog.org |access-date=2016-03-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120112084855/http://woodstockgroundhog.org/pages/tour.html |archive-date=2012-01-12 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
