John Deere would move here in 1836, build a house and a blacksmith shop. In 1837 he would make a ‘new improved’ plow out of steel that was shaped in such a way that the sticky black earth didn’t stick to it. His plow would eventually become so popular that he quit working as a blacksmith and instead dedicated all his time to making plows. In 1848 he would move his entire operation to Moline, Illinois, which is still the headquarters of the John Deere Company. John Deere would die in 1862 and would never see a motorized tractor which is what his company is known for. Our docent explained to us that most people have no idea that John Deere was a real person or that the company started with a plow!!

"We were in town for a volleyball tournament and could not have been happier with our stay here! We felt very safe and welcome and the home owner was very responsive and accommodating. Property is clean and really has that homey feel with lots of natural light and comfortable beds. The shower head is amazing and felt like a massage! This is also in a cute little town with a bar/restaurant just blocks away that has excellent food. We will definitely stay here any time we are in the area. Very...
