The Buffalo Bill Cody Museum is on the banks of the Mississippi River in downtown Le Claire. It includes memorabilia of Buffalo Bill and the town of Le Claire. You can also see an informative video on his life.
Also . . . close by, in an alley off the main drag, is Antique Archaeology. Mike and Frank – “The Pickers” search the countryside for antiques and junk for their shop. You can follow their adventures on the History Channel. While they are on the road, the shop is managed by Danielle who has the most interesting tattoos.
As most of you can remember the three major networks - ABC, NBC, and CBS were the only TV sources our nation had for several decades. Now with so many networks anyone can be a star.
We visited this antique store and wanted to see Mike, Frank and Danielle, but unfortunately they were not available today. Bummer!
In the afternoon we went to the Figge Museum of Art – in a dramatic building overlooking the Mississippi River in Davenport. Great eclectic collection!
We are impressed with the Quad Cities – they’re looking good in today’s economy.
