Mr. Speaker. I rise today to acknowledge the McHenry Chapel for 200 years of serving the community in White County. Illinois. For 200 years. the McHenry Chapel has continually been a spiritual home for area residents. Being almost as old as our country and older than the State of Illinois. the McHenry Chapel has a long history. It was formed by Daniel McHenry in 1814. two years after the War of 1812 with many immigrants flooding into the area from southern states. This gave McHenry the inspiration and devotion to preach the gospel to his neighbors. After forming the church.
