DCHC inspires curiosity in DeKalb County’s history by gathering, exploring, and inspiring people.

The Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center is dedicated to telling an American story of migration, innovation and philanthropy at the site where Joseph F. Glidden invented "The Winner" barbed wire.

We now have exhibits showcasing the historical aspects of farming and agricultural in the area as well as our DeKalb Ag memorabilia.
