The Velva Area History Museum (VAHM) is dedicated to the preservation of Velva's history and the southern region of McHenry County. As a non-profit entity, we have been actively engaged in historical restoration efforts since 2022. With a wealth of history spanning from the open-cut mine to the coal power plant, our board diligently sifts through a rich tapestry of historical narratives.
