If you can get a Dallas Morning News, in the Travel section (section G)there's an article about planning your vacation to Moline, IL to see the John Deere Pavillion.

Also, if you're around Dallas, at the State Fair there's about 10 or 12 JD tractors, one with a sawmill and one with a belt-driven baler. The kids weren't interested enough to let me look around for long but it was a pretty good exhibit.

Sorry to break your bubble, but I don't think the JD Pavilion is anything to plan a vacation around. I life about 20 miles from it and have been through it a few times. Sure its got some interesting stuff, but not enough to make a trip from TX to see. Its more of a sidetrip sort of thing. The local commerce people will be mad to hear me say this, but the area doesn't really have anything else to offer the tourist other than some riverboat gambling and the usual small museums.

Don't get me wrong, the pavilion is nice. From what I remember about half the machines are antique and the rest brand new. Its a shame they have to disfigure the new stuff to stay in compliance. All the steps are removed and replaced with stairs. Lots of little stuff like that.

No, I don't think I'd plan a vacation to Moline... It was an interesting article, but I told my wife I didn't remember it exactly being a big tourist center! It's tough to get this E. TX boy to go north this time of year, I just thought it was interesting that they'd have an article in the Dallas paper about the JD pavilion. They also mentioned a few other attractions in the area, 2 of which were John Deere's house and original shop. Maybe the C. of C. in Moline bought space in the Dallas paper...
