ICE AGE
  
During the last Ice Age, the Sycamore region lay at the edge of a mile thick sheet of ice. Running along one blue ice ridge, across DeKalb County, thick-skinned and rough-haired Mastodons lumbered through the landscape. The Ice Age display at the Midwest Museum of Natural History features a diorama depicting a portion of this scene designed to illustrate life and change in the Midwest region beginning 12,000 years ago. Fossilized bones of mastodon, beaver and ox, on loan from the Illinois State Museum and Chicago's Field Museum, are on display to illustrate the size and greatness of these animals of the past.
