Patch Passport: Venture Out!

Revisit your younger days when you hopped in the car, started the engine and drove off in search of something fun. Patch Passport maps out where you can Venture Out on a 15-, 30- or 60-minute drive from your home.

In the Venture Out portion of the Patch Passport series, we show you some of the best places you can visit in less than a tank of gas.

In McHenry County, we take you to Woodstock Square, where we show you 10 things you can do in the picturesque town.
