DeKalb offers its visitors a variety of architectural and entertainment venues which showcase both the past and present. Perhaps the most notable of DeKalb's historic gems is the Ellwood House Museum. Built by barbed wire millionaire Isaac L. Ellwood in 1879, this grand Victorian mansion is operated as an historic house museum and is open for guided tours.

Another historic site in the city is the famed Egyptian Theatre, a restored 1930s movie palace which also features some of the best Egyptian/Art Deco architecture in the country.

The Stage Coach Theater, organized in 1946, is one of the oldest community theaters in the state. Other famous attractions include: the Gurler House, a beautiful example of the Greek Revival Style; the Harley-Davidson Museum, exhibiting over 65 antique and modern motorcycles; the J.F. Glidden Homestead & Historical Center, honoring the inventor of barbed wire; the Blackwell History of Education Museum, a one-room schoolhouse with displays and programs available to the public; and the Altgeld Art Gallery, located at Northern Illinois University.
