Nancy Thompson is both a basket collector and a basket weaver. Join us to see some of the baskets in her collection and learn about the history and variety in American basketry.
We will have a general business meeting with a focus on upcoming events. The community room at the Rock Island Police Station is just inside the front door and to the right.
May is National Historic Preservation Month. During the month we encourage everyone to take a look at our local historic resources from our historic downtown to our wide variety of historic neighborhoods to our historic parks. Embracing the history and stories these places embody can instill pride in our community and offer a great sense of place in which to live.
We are a city-wide organization in Rock Island, Illinois, that advocates for preservation of our built environment through public education, research of historic buildings and sites and registration of significant historical places with local, state and federal authorities.
