Community events inside historic homes
Moline is where John Deere revolutionized the steel plow in 1848; today, this city is the world headquarters for John Deere products. In Stephens Park, folks can visit the historic homes of the Deere family, now preserved by the William Butterworth Foundation. The Deere-Wiman House and Butterworth Center “host a lot of community events with free music, garden walks and holiday activities,” says Shamsie. “It’s free to walk the grounds. The landscaping is beautiful with big, mature trees. People take prom pictures and wedding pictures there.”Within reach of bikes and buses

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
