A stroll on the Taylor Marshall farm for the Sycamore Steam Show is a rite of passage for many locals. The storied history of the club and show is as illustrious as the machines on display.
 
The Northern Illinois Steam Power Club will host its 66th annual Steam Show and Threshing Bee this August. Learn the history of the Northern Illinois Steam Power Club, and their plans for the future, at a presentation Sunday, May 21 at noon, at the Glidden Homestead, 921 W. Lincoln Highway in DeKalb.
 
“Threshing Bee Tales: The Northern Illinois Steam Power Club” program begins at 12 p.m. $5 general admission, free for Glidden members. Proceeds from the program support the Homestead.
