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!!

« the house was in a perfect location for everything that we needed. we were in the middle of everywhere we needed to go. the house itself was very clean, organized & not cluttered at all. it’s a beautiful space & our dog enjoyed having a backyard to run around in. easy to get in to & to lock up. the only downside, which has nothing to do with the home itself, is the neighborhood. all 3 nights of our stay, there was always some noise happening outside the house - really just loud music that seeped...

« What a wonderful find this beautiful and beautifully restored home is! My wife and I, along with our two oldest grandsons (aged 10 & 9) spent the weekend in this home. It was so beautifully decorated for Christmas with Christmas trees in every room! So warm and cozy! Additional Christmas decor made our stay so festive. Our hostess, Carolyn, was VERY responsive to a couple of questions we had. Although it was REALLY cold and snowy when we stayed, I can imagine the big back yard would be...
