Fox River Valley and Chain O' Lakes
It's a journey that starts at Blarney Island, a rowdy bar in the middle of a lake accessible only by boat, and ends sixty miles down the Fox River at Mies Van Der Rohe’s Farnsworth House, one of the world’s greatest examples of minimalist modern architecture. Between those two extremes you’ll discover a world of amazing history and colorful characters. Geoffrey Baer takes viewers on a trip along the historic Fox River from the Chain O’ Lakes in far northern Illinois, all of the way south to Aurora.
