Built By Barbed Wire
August 31 @ 2:00 pm
At 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 31, the Glidden Homestead and Barb City Manor will host a “Built by Barbed Wire” program at Barb City Manor, 680 Haish Boulevard. This program, which is free and open to the public, will share the history of the building that was built with major contributions from barbed wire barons Joseph F. Glidden, Jacob Haish and Isaac Ellwood. Former Barb City Manor administrators Ellen Tyne and Maureen Gerrity will share a history of both Barb City Manor and the previous Glidden Hospital. Then accompany BCM executive director Sarah Davis for a tour and behind-the-scenes look at the historic building, including historic plaques and nods to DeKalb’s barbed wire barons throughout the building.
