Many communities are lucky enough to have one downtown district. McHenry is uniquely blessed with three: Main Street, Green Street, and Riverside Drive! Formed when McHenry merged with the nearby burgs of Gagetown – later West McHenry – and Centerville, the three Downtown districts of McHenry boast incredible dining, shopping, and experiences.
