Self Guided Experiences

Our tours tell the story!  See handmade vodka, gin and whiskey made from local grains at Mississippi River Distilling Company & Cody Road Cocktail House, get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of our famous Isabel Bloom sculptures, visit the historic mansions of the Deere family and the Hauberg Estate, watch a Deere Combine built from beginning to end, and take a tour of our Lock & Dam system – one of the largest Roller Dams in the world. Our tours all have an authentic story to tell about our history and our people.

If self-guided adventures are more your style, we’ve got you covered. Our historic neighborhoods, downtowns and Rock Island Arsenal offer a variety of self-guided tours through brochures and mobile phone apps.

Get behind the scenes and behind the story with one of these QC tours.
