Grand Detour

Reiseguide

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!!

Loved the old charm, very spacious and clean. The big desk was great for work. It snowed quite a bit, lots to shovel, plow came but was later in afternoon. Bathroom could use a remodel but clean. Basement was very clean for laundry. Great stay overall.
