GET OUT & ABOUT

Explore Dekalb County At Your Fingertips

Are you ready for some exciting news? DeKalb County has its own touring app!

Out & About DeKalb County is out and about in your app store and an engaging way for you to explore historical stops throughout our area.

The app takes you through a unique journey where you will learn fun facts and detailed history from sites such as the Egyptian Theatre in DeKalb, to some fewer known ones, like the Old Pacific Hotel in Genoa. You will travel through each of the county’s townships while using the app and listen about each one as you go. Sites will be updated frequently and new sites will be added so be sure to visit the app often.

You can tour from your fingertips at home or turn on the geoalerts through the map’s feature and hit the open road. We encourage you to visit these sites in person and get the true DeKalb County experience.

Out & About was developed through a collaboration between the DeKalb County

Economic Development Corporation, DeKalb County Community Foundation, the DeKalb County History Center and the DeKalb County Convention and Visitors Bureau and NIU.
