Learn Deere history at John Deere Trail

Visit Quad Cities has a new self-guided tour for visitors and locals featuring one of the biggest employers in the area.

The John Deere Trail showcases 10+ points of interest about John Deere. Participants can explore innovative products at the John Deere Pavilion, learn the history of landmarks like the Deere-Wiman House and gain a comprehensive understanding of the impact Deere & Co. has had locally.

“The Quad Cities is rich with nearly two centuries of John Deere history,” said Neil Dahlstrom, Branded Properties & Heritage Manager at John Deere. “This collaboration allows us to offer an even deeper John Deere experience in a self-guided, interactive way.”

“The John Deere Trail is yet another opportunity for visitors and Quad Citizens to engage with what Visit Quad Cities calls The John Deere Effect, a key element of our community’s brand identity,” said Katrina Keuning, Director of Brand & Content Strategy at Visit Quad Cities.

Participants can sign up for free and follow the John Deere Trail at their own pace and gain a deeper appreciation for John Deere’s role in agriculture and community development. They can also win a gift card to the John Deere Store in downtown Moline.
