John Deere Pavillion

This is the John Deere Pavillion and Lagomarcino's Restaurant.  We visited the Pavillion where we saw historical farm vehicles, film loops of farm and construction equipment doing their jobs, and a delightful hostess who answered our questions.  We were most impressed with a tree harvester that had six legs instead of wheels or tracks.  It looked like something out of Star Wars.  It works.  It goes into the forest, cuts down a tree, grabs hold of it and takes it to a truck.  They only have one because it is too expensive to build.  We asked where there was a good place to have lunch and our hostess suggested two restaurants nearby then she suggested an "unusual" restaurant that was only two blocks away.  We loved it.  It is very small.  It started out to be a candy store.  They make their own candy and ice cream.  There are tiny tables and it was very noisy, but the food was wonderful.  If you are ever in Moline, go to Lagomarcino's.
