Mules and stagecoach enjoying stroll through historyHave you discovered  the remarkable city of Woodland located about 9 miles north of Davis, California. At first glance you would not notice how many historical homes and storefronts date from the late 1880's. The town also boasts an original Opera House which still has performances. This past weekend September 6, 2008 the town hosted its annual Stroll through History where you can enjoy the pleasure of viewing the interiors of these historical homes located in the historical downtown area.

Woodland has some remarkable restaurants to experience. Historic Downtown  Ludy's Restaurant in WoodlandLudy's Main Street BBQ has the best barbequed meat in town. View the pictures of the extraordinary restaurant with artwork on every wall and every ceiling. The outside patio is so much fun and kids love the small river which runs down the middle of the patio. You can contact Ludy's  on the internet at Ludys.com. to arrange for a reservation as well as catering.

Poster for Wild West Days In WoodlandAnother great restaurant which is known for its fish menu is Maritime Seaford and Grill. I have eaten here often because I love their fish. It is located on a side street off of Main Street. It affords elegant dining.

If you are looking for a great Sushi restaurant I highly recommend Osaka Sushi which is located on Main Street across the street from Ludy's. In addition there is a great Bistro name Tazzina Bistro which has outside seating to  enjoy afternoon and evening dining. My daughter and I have enjoyed eating at this little taste of Paris dining.

Another favorite restaurant is Morrisons. My family especially enjoys the quality of service that you receive at this special restaurant. It is located upstairs in a most unusual building.

Woodland was founded as an agricultural town and  the railroad tracks still run through the downtown area. You can almost feel the qualifty of the previous life of this small town as you walk on Main Street and enjoy the beautifully preserved commercial buildings that form the downtown shops, restaurants, and great antique shops.
