Woodstock’s permanent memorial to its fallen, the Woodstock Memorial, is in the upper part of The Park at City Center, 101 Arnold Mill Road, where the city holds its Memorial Day service at the Northside Hospital-Cherokee Amphitheater. The city describes it as 10 tons of polished granite dedicated to Woodstock veterans who gave their lives.

What is open and closed on Nov. 11

Trash pickup: Red Oak Sanitation, the city’s hauler, did not list Veterans Day among its holidays when we checked its schedule on Oct. 6, so pickup should run on the normal day. Its holiday page did not load for us on Oct. 11; to confirm, call or text Red Oak at 678-455-7819. More in our trash and recycling guide.

Cherokee County students have a different day off that month: Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3, is a remote learning day on the district calendar.

Georgia National Cemetery

Cherokee County’s national cemetery is Georgia National Cemetery, 1080 Scott Hudgens Drive, Canton.
