Woods Cross Roads

pen and ink drawing of Woods Cross Roads Gas Station and Store

1 - Woods Cross Roads Gas Station & Store - 9626 George Washington Memorial Highway Rt. 17.  This area, named for John and Anne Woods who operated a tavern here in the 1600’s, was a major timber producing region. The Woods Cross Roads post office is one of four ante-bellum post offices in Gloucester County. The tavern and other buildings existing at this intersection in the 19th Century are no longer standing. The current structure, erected in the 1920s, is the only one left. The tornado of September 5, 1935 “swept several buildings to destruction.”
