The Ladies of the Houses —Mary Deere, Katherine Butterworth, and Pattie Wiman— were raised during the Victorian Era when a woman’s place was with her family, community and church, but behind the scenes, they played an essential role in the growth and success of Deere & Company. As pioneers in the social life of the city, the business and beyond, they helped set the course for the good fortune to come. Visitors will get a glimpse of the private lives of these ladies —their pastimes, personal values, and prized possessions.
Ana Kehoe, who, as a young girl, knew Mrs. Wiman and visited her home, has several unique stories to tell. She will lead the group through both Deere-Wiman House and Butterworth Center for approximately 1 1/2 hours. There will be opportunities to sit during the tour but be sure to wear comfortable shoes.
There is an exterior lift and interior elevator at both houses for those with mobility issues.
Parking is available across the street, south of Deere-Wiman House, 817 11th Ave, Moline.
This tour is $20 and is limited to 20 participants. Registration links:
