For McHenry Museum apartment dwellers, the history of the area means more than just another museum. This very well put together local attraction, the McHenry Museum, is a beautiful reflection of the architecture of the time for residents of Modesto apartments. The building itself was originally the city library, and given to the city of Modesto in 1912. It was converted into the current museum on July 4, 1972.
Within

the restored structure is an old fashioned dentist office, a general store and a blacksmith shop featuring wood and square nails. People from McHenry Museum apartments wouldn't have a complete tour without seeing gold mining equipment, cattle brands and original fire fighting equipment. The traveling exhibits are interesting to view as well, with the featured topic changing every other month. Former traveling exhibits include tributes to California National Parks, pioneer families, and popular early settler items such as quilts, fans, silver and dolls.
Modesto apartments' museum goers are able to visit as often as they like, for the price tag for admission - free - makes it very attractive to do so. A quaint gift shop is available for visitors of McHenry Museum apartments to pick up souvenirs of the area. Run by the Modesto Parks and Recreation Cultural Department, the museum is a class act and recommended for every Modesto apartment resident.
