On our last wint...

👍👍 Ducky’s is a great summertime destination, especially via boat. They have an excellent selection of drinks, available at TWO separate bars, with a variety of food items on their menu.

Rock Island Arsenal Visitor Welcome Center
Visitor center
👍 We were taking my mom to dad's grave. We had to fill out a form each and get our pictures taken at the visitors' center. Then they issued each of us a pass, good for one year.

Atomic Cannon
Memorial park
👍👍 This is a military base so you have to register at the MP check in building, I didn't know that but it didn't take long to do & honestly they can't just let anyone just drive in so I understand that. We stopped at the Atomic Cannon & the other artillery pieces. I was so excited to stand by a Sherman...

Hollar's Bar & Grill
Bar & grill
😠 Deeply unsatisfied by the service and food tonight. We had a bad experience the last visit we had a few months ago, but the waitress took care of our burnt food and blamed it on a new cook. This time our service was so slow we were afraid to send it back for fear of never getting it. $77.00 later t...

Campbell's Island State Historic Site
Historical landmark
👍👍 A great place to come and picnic and get a sense of US history or I should say A PLACE ON THE MOON. For settlers, living along the Mississippi River in this area of the “WEST” in the early 1800’s was like living on the MOON. OK, OK, I might be exaggerating the truth a bit but it’s kind of true. Ma...
