[1] The village center of the town of Wheelock is located in its northeastern corner, stretching along Vermont Route 122 south of the Miller's Run river.

At the eastern end of the linear village, Sutton Road (Town Highway 17) branches northeast, while Route 122 bends more southeast to follow the river.

It is shaded by pine trees, and has two benches, a bandstand, and the town's 1915 memorial to its American Civil War participants.

The town hall stands north of the common; it is a 1-1/2 story Greek Revival gable-roofed building with a square belfry.

The move to build a new town hall in the village in 1871 was spurred at least in part by an attempt to develop local mineral springs as a tourist draw.
