I wanted to visit Moline to view the John Deere headquarters. We took a leisurely drive from the Chicago suburbs to the quad cites, driving along Illinois route 2. On our way we stopped at the John Deere Historic Site. Deere's invention of the steel plow made breaking and cultivating the think prairie sod possible. There was a fascinating demonstration of blacksmithing going on. Excellent. There were a couple of cute kittens hanging around the old Deere farmhouse too.

Me and my husband were on vacation and stumbled onto this attraction. We were not disappointed. Would recommend this if you're in the area. The blacksmith and the tour guide, were very knowledgeable and friendly.
