Soup-er Sunday programs support the J.F.

These programs will be held at 12 p.m. on the first and third Sundays of January, February and March. Visit GliddenHomestead.org for the full list.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of Glidden’s “The Winner” patent, the most widely-used barbed wire in the world, which also earned Glidden the title “The Father of Barbed Wire.” In September 2024 the Homestead will celebrate by hosting a barbed wire exposition show in coordination with the Antique Barbed Wire Society, and other community-wide events.
