About Us
The
McHenry County Historical Barn Preservation Association is a
preservation group focusing our efforts on saving the historic barns of
McHenry County. The Association was formed in 1997 in response to the
"need" to protect and preserve McHenry County barns from encroachment
of insensitive development and urban sprawl. McHenry County barns are
significant in that McHenry County was once the dairy capital of the
midwest. Our barns are the architecture that housed the dairy
operations which allowed McHenry County to prosper. Saving our barns
means saving our heritage.
The McHenry County
Historical Barn Preservation Association is a 501C3 not-for-profit
organization with 11 Board positions and approximately 90 members.
Our Purpose
To
provide community awareness, knowledge, and resources to facilitate a
grass-roots community effort to preserve the barns and agricultural
history of McHenry County.
Our Misson
To preserve McHenry County barns
Please
consider supporting the Association and its mission by becoming a
member, donating, or volunteering your time on one of our many projects.
