At least once a year RIPS members research and lead tours to various parts of Rock Island to point out architectural styles as well as history. All proceeds from the tour benefit the work of the Rock Island Preservation Society, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of our built historic heritage. Since 1981, the society has led the community in the education of our citizens about historic preservation. The Rock Island Preservation Ordinance, which has earned statewide respect, resulted from efforts initiated by the Society.
Some of our recent tours include the following:
Tour Yesterday, 1999
Broadway - Spencer Place Tour
Watch Hill - 2007 Audio Tour
Watch Hill - 2007 (Brochure)
