This website will show updates from an excavation located in Shabbona Grove in August and September, 2011. This historical project helps to delve into the lives of earlier inhabitants in DeKalb County and their lifeways. Shabbona Grove was founded in 1836 and quickly grew to a population over 2,000. The excavation hopes to uncover more information about a house (and the families that occupied it) that stood into the 20th century but is now without any above-ground indications of its presence. We're hoping to find some mid-late 18th century garbage!
