1968, 50 Years Ago.

"The DeKalb County Court House in Sycamore has received some outdoor decorations in honor of  the 150th 'birthday' of Illinois.

"The Sesquicentennial salute lists Northern Illinois University, the Farm Bureau, barb wire, and the home of Chief Shabbona as unique facets of DeKalb County's history."
