A county mug asks a different question from a town mug: how can one drawing make room for several communities? Working with McHenry County Museum helped place Woodstock Square beside parks and natural areas without pretending they are all one street scene.
Details in the drawing
The wraparound artwork includes Historic Woodstock Square, Moraine Hills State Park, Glacial Park and Volo Bog. Each is part of the place this mug was drawn to remember.

A gift idea with a real place behind it
A newcomer could use this drawing as a small introduction to McHenry County. Start with Historic Woodstock Square, then look for Moraine Hills State Park and Glacial Park. Giving the mug with a note about why one of those places matters makes the gift personal without assuming the recipient knows every reference yet.
