This Sunday, May 15th, from 12noon – 4pm, come see the new aspects of the Glidden Homestead for 2016! Bring the family out to Open Day / Open Barn and tour Joseph Glidden’s Home where barbed wire was invented, see a working blacksmith shop, and visit the 1870s brick barn currently being excavated by archaeologists.
In addition, the restored prairie that is growing in a location near the barn for the first time in 170 years is being dedicated at 1 pm and all donors to the ongoing restoration project up to that point will be recognized at the dedication ceremony.
The Glidden Homestead and Historical Center is located at 921 W. Lincoln Hwy. in DeKalb. Visit the Glidden Homestead on Facebook to keep up with all of their events.
