McHENRY COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION LANDMARK

Residence of Captain Charles Hopkins Tryon until the turn-of-the-century is an outstanding example of cross-gabled bracketed Italianate architecture. Built in the mid 1800's, the farm retains many of its original structures. Later structures reflect advances made in American agricultural practices. Charles Hopkins Tryon was the eldest son of Bela and Harriet Tryon who established the farmstead in 1837.  Bela was the first postmaster at Hebron and Harriet named Hebron Township.
