Moline is part of the Quad Cities, a metro area of Illinois and Iowa towns that straddle one of the few stretches where the Mississippi River runs east to west. Deere & Company has its world headquarters here, and its engineering, manufacturing and dealer activity bring visitors from around the globe. The Rock Island Arsenal, a large Army installation on an island in the river, adds defense business, and the region also has strong manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and agricultural operations on both sides of the state line.

The Quad Cities sit about three hours west of Chicago and a similar distance from Des Moines, Milwaukee or St. Louis, so many trips here involve a long drive or an airline connection. Quad City International Airport is in Moline itself, minutes from Deere’s campus and the riverfront, while Davenport’s municipal airport serves the Iowa side. A private flight makes a dealer meeting, plant visit or Arsenal appointment a same-day trip. Leisure travelers come for riverfront trails, minor league baseball on the river, summer jazz and the PGA Tour stop at TPC Deere Run.

Things to do in Moline

When to go. Summer is the liveliest time in the Quad Cities, with riverfront concerts, the Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival and the Bix 7 road race in Davenport, and the John Deere Classic golf tournament in Silvis. September and October bring comfortable weather and fall color along the river bluffs. Winters are cold, but January and February are the best months to see bald eagles gathering near the locks and dams.
