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!!

Quality Inn & Suites Dixon near I-88

10/10 Excellent

"The evening check-in staff were confused on how to handle my arrival, but they worked it out. The Breakfast was great and the staff that managed was excellent: the only hotel chain where I saw the attendant regularly checking/recording the food temp!!!! Pool looked great with a slide too, although I was not able to take advantage of it. Great bargin and good location...strongly recommend it."
