Whether you want to stroll through glorious botanical gardens or learn about the history of the American Midwest, this area in Iowa is the ideal place.

Discover what it means to be an American in the Midwest in Davenport, Iowa. This town, part of a larger metropolitan area known as the Quad Cities, is a destination for anyone looking to explore art and culture while appreciating the natural beauty of the banks of the Mississippi River.

Davenport was founded in 1836 and named after a colonel in the Black Hawk War. As it is just across the river from Illinois, the metropolitan area extends over two states.

Learn more about the local history. You will soon discover that despite the name implying four, the Quad Cities is actually made up of five cities.

Begin your day in downtown Davenport , where you’ll find local landmarks including the Davenport Public Library, as well as some of the region’s most famous museums. Stop by the Figge Art Museum to appreciate collections of fine art or take the whole family to the Putnam Museum to explore its interactive science exhibits.

Immerse yourself in the local culture as you watch a baseball game at Modern Woodmen Park, where the Quad Cities River Bandits usually play. There is also a hockey team, as well as Moline High School’s basketball team that plays games at Wharton Field House.

When you need a moment of peace and quiet, head to Credit Island, a large park next to the Mississippi River. Explore its many walking paths.

You could also visit the beautifully manicured gardens in Vander Veer Botanical Park, where a conservatory and greenhouses ensure that you can appreciate the tranquility of the area no matter the weather.

To get to Davenport, fly into Quad City International Airport, which is located in the neighboring city of Moline. Rent a car at the airport having your own transportation is essential for exploring the area.

Embrace the pioneering spirit of the area’s early settlers and see what this enchanting part of America is all about.
