Welcome!
Our Mission
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.
Our Activities and Projects
We raise public awareness of historic buildings and neighborhoods by activities such as:
- Annual Preservation Awards
- Neighborhood walking tours
- Production of tour guides and booklets
- Quarterly newsletter
- Informal assistance to people interested in researching the history of their home or building
- Survey of recent architecture project (in process)
- Rock Island Architects project (in process)
Become a Member
We meet at 7:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month at various locations. As a member you will
receive a quarterly newsletter, email agendas before meetings and minutes afterwards at your request.
We do NOT distribute your email address to others. While your active participation is welcomed, inactive
(dues only) memberships that help support our work are also welcome.
