A Journey Through the Origins of Farming
Exploring the Roots of Agriculture
For those interested in delving into the agricultural foundations of our nation, several destinations offer a fascinating glimpse into farming's past, present, and future.
Discover John Deere's Legacy
In 1836, John Deere, a blacksmith from Vermont, started his endeavor in the small town of Grand Detour, Illinois. Recognizing the need for a plow suited to the sticky Midwestern soil, he designed and forged the first "self-polishing" plow in 1837. This innovative tool quickly gained popularity and laid the groundwork for the now-renowned John Deere Company.
Today, visitors can immerse themselves in history at the John Deere Historic Site. A blacksmith reenacts this pivotal moment in a replica of Deere's original workshop. Guests can also explore Deere’s home, a gift shop, and an archaeological display that reveals the site of the original blacksmith shop.
John Deere Pavilion: A Must-Visit Attraction
Located in Moline, Illinois, the John Deere Pavilion ranks among the state's top five tourist spots. It attracts visitors nationwide and from around the globe. The pavilion features a mix of vintage and modern equipment alongside interactive exhibits that chronicle the evolution of both the company and global agriculture.
One exhibit addresses children's curiosity about food origins, while a 40-inch touchscreen offers insights into the future of farming and the challenges of feeding tomorrow’s world. A feature film, "Anthem: A Song of the Land," pays homage to the dedication of farm families worldwide.
Adjacent to the pavilion, the John Deere Store offers a unique shopping experience with an array of officially licensed John Deere products.
Dive into History at the John Deere Collectors Center
In Moline, the John Deere Collectors Center serves as a hub for enthusiasts interested in the company's rich history and the collection of its equipment and memorabilia.

It also hosts auctions, seminars, and houses an active area for tractor restoration.
