Soup-er Sundays returns to educate community on historic Glidden Barn
DEKALB, Ill. (WIFR) – History enthusiasts will have a chance to learn about the Glidden Barn in DeKalb and how it’s evolved over the last century and a half.
This is the topic of the first Soup-er Sunday lecture series of 2026, which is in its fourth year. This will happen at noon Jan. 11 at the Glidden Homestead Welcome Center.
Series organizers say historic preservationist Roger Keys will look at the architecture and share photos on the barn’s 150-year evolution. This is the site where Joseph F. Glidden invented and first manufactured barbed wire.
Keys will also touch on current restoration projects of the barn floor and tack room.

Minneapolis’ Somali community say they face harassment, threats in wake of fraud allegations video
At Fardowsa Ali’s restaurant in Minneapolis, she said the usual steady flow of diners seeking Somali sambusas or desserts has been replaced with threatening phone calls.
“It’s really sad,†said Ali, who opened Albi Kitchen last summer. “I called police because one guy called here and said he was going to come here and break everything.â€
The threats and declining business began after conservative content creator Nick Shirley posted a video accusing day care centers in Minneapolis’ Somali community of fraud – including one in the same building as her cafe, Ali said.
Since the video was posted, Ali and other business owners and families in the state’s deeply rooted Somali community have said they were threatened, harassed and bullied on social media. A day care facility was vandalized and parents are afraid to send their children to school. Somali restaurants and coffee shops that once bustled with patrons were nearly empty last week and people are scared to show up to their jobs.
