The Village of East Dundee is a picturesque community located along the eastern banks of the Fox River in northeast Kane County. Its charming downtown district is home to the historic Anvil Club, a private dining club since the mid-fifties. A recently renovated Visitor’s Center depicts a passenger depot from the turn of the century. Just down the street one can see a replica of the original Lincoln House in Springfield, IL. It is traversed by the Fox River bicycle path, a major pedestrian/bicycle artery that offers enthusiasts an opportunity to see the Fox Valley in its natural setting along the river.
