Have you ever wondered why Sycamore is the county seat? Sue Breese of the Joiner History Room will delve into the 20th century battle between DeKalb and Sycamore and the historically contentious decision to build the courthouse in Sycamore at this month’s Local Lore.
Local Lore is a series of adult lecture programs. Once a month, a knowledgeable speaker will present an hour-long program about history relevant to DeKalb County. All programs are free of charge and take place in the Ellwood House Museum Visitor Center, unless otherwise stated. Participants are welcome to bring a sack lunch to each program.
For more information, call (815) 756-4609 or email trunzel@ellwoodhouse.org. Local Lore is held at and put on by the Ellwood House Museum this coming Saturday, August 26th from noon until 1:00pm. The Ellwood House is located at 509 N. 1st St. in DeKalb. Visit their website now to learn more.
