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 mini-malist 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 the way south to Aurora.
