About McHenry Museum

The McHenry Museum is a city landmark in downtown Modesto, operated by Modesto Parks, Recreation & Neighborhoods. With a Main Exhibit room, a Temporary Exhibition room, and an Auditorium, it serves as a flexible venue for community events, private rentals, and cultural programs. Capacity varies by configuration: up to 200 guests on the Main Floor and 64–90 seats in the Auditorium, depending on setup. Although there isn’t a public seating chart, event organizers can plan room layouts through Facility Rentals.

We’ve got you covered with practical details on parking, transportation, and nearby hotels and restaurants to simplify planning.
