Deere Family Homes
Welcome to Butterworth Center & Deere-Wiman House, located in the Overlook District of Moline, Illinois. Both historic homes once belonged to John Deere’s descendants but are now operated by the William Butterworth Foundation. They serve as year-round sites for quality educational and cultural events, meeting space for not-for-profit organizations, and tours.Built in 1892, Hillcrest, now known as Butterworth Center, is an impressive home with a mixture of Queen Anne, Gothic, Arts & Crafts Movement and Stick Style architecture. Nowhere are their cultured tastes reflected better than with the grandest feature of the Butterworth Home - an 18th century Italian ceiling painting located in the library.
Deere-Wiman House, built in 1872, was home to John Deere’s son, Charles Deere and his descendents. One of the highlights of the Deere-Wiman House is the dining room. It still retains a hand stenciled and painted wallpaper that Mary Deere (John’s daughter-in-law) added in the 1890’s.
