Constructed in 1883, the McHenry Mansion was the home of Robert McHenry. The Victorian house was included in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1978. With the efforts of the City and the citizens, this mansion was restored and is now open to general public. The McHenry Mansion lends itself as a choice venue for weddings and special events.
