Mc Govern's Club and Restaurant

Established in 1935. In the 1840's John Mc Govern immigrated to the United States from Ireland. He married Elizabeth Mc Caffery and settled in the Territory of Wisconsin, Town of Portland with his two brothers. There they raised seven children. Their third child, John Jr., had a son Van Allen Mc Govern who purchased the bar and which later become Mc Govern's from the Chase Lumber Co. in 1935. Since then, four generations of Mc Governs have run Mc Govern's Club and Restaurant.
