Memories from the Farm: Barns in Illinois

Larry Kanfer from Kanfer Photography in Champaign will be sharing stories related to his new book, Barns in Illinois.

The Sycamore History Museum presents a series of programs to expand upon themes currently offered in the exhibition, “Memories from the Farm.” The series will explore the history of early farming, from Native Americans to John Deere, including a snapshot of the local agricultural history; businesses; clubs; the DeKalb County Fair; women on the farm; the steam show; and other topics, like organic farming, agribusiness, preservation of antique barns, and the challenges of developing and sustaining a family farm.

This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Sycamore History Museum at 815.895.5762 or info@sycamorehistory.org.
