McHenry

For 175 years, the city of McHenry has grown and prospered on the banks of the Fox River. These years have been a time of change that has taken McHenry from a log cabin along the Fox River to becoming the first county seat of McHenry County, a farming community, a water recreation destination, a shopping area, and a manufacturing center. Travel with author Sandra Landen Machaj through McHenry's past to its present.
