Description
In 1848, John Deere changed the course of local history in Moline Illinois by locating his first plow manufacturing plant on the banks of the Mississippi River. With this factory, John Deere's dream of producing a superior self-scouring plow for the western frontier became a reality. Across the country, farmers used his plow to till the land and they forever changed the shape of agriculture. The rest, as they say, is history: a history that is preserved at the John Deere Pavilion.
The John Deere Pavilion was created as a celebration of the past, present and future of agribusiness. It has attracted guests from all corners of the globe and is recognized as the world's most comprehensive agricultural exhibit.
Almost overnight, the John Deere Pavilion became the Quad Cities most popular tourist attraction and one of the top five attractions in the state of Illinois. When you visit downtown Moline and see the Pavilion for yourself, you'll understand why!
It's part of an entire experience that begins with the legend of John Deere. But beyond that, this revitalized urban area offers some of the most unique shopping opportunities, fine dining, entertainment and family fun that can't be beat. Not to mention, you'll be surrounded by some of the Midwest's friendliest folks!
