Top Attractions in Moline

Wharton Field House

Wharton Field House is an arena located at 1800 20th Avenue in Moline, Illinois. The arena holds 6,000 people and was built in 1928. It is adjacent to Browning Field. Wharton Fieldhouse was home to the NBAs Tri-Cities Blackhawks from 1946 until they left for Milwaukee in 1951. The franchise started in 1946 as the Buffalo Bisons before relocating to the Tri-Cities after only 13 games. The franchise later moved to Milwaukee, St. Louis and eventually Atlanta, becoming the Atlanta Hawks. Legendary Hall of Fame Coach Red Auerbach was Head Coach for the Blackhawks in 1949-50, before accepting the same position in 1950 with the Boston Celtics. In Boston, Auerbach eventually coached the team to nine NBA titles, before serving as general manager and drafting Larry Bird. Wharton later served as home to the Quad City Thunder of the Continental Basketball Association from 1987 until 1993 when the team moved its home games to the MARK of the Quad Cities . In 2004, USA Today named it one of the top places to watch high school basketball. It is the current and longtime home of the Moline Maroons basketball teams. Moline competes in the Western Big 6 Conference. The high school also continues to hold its graduation there.

Riverside Cemetery

Riverside Cemetery is located in Moline, Illinois, United States. It can trace its beginnings to Moline Cemetery, which was established to 1851. The original 5 acres of the cemetery was purchased from Samuel and Mary Bell on November 1 of that year. It is located between Fourth and Fifth Avenues at about 33rd Street, and was also known as the Fourth Avenue Cemetery. Joseph Pershing served as the first Sexton, and the cemetery was placed under the direction of a Board of Trustees. Numerous changes occurred when John Deere served as the mayor of Moline. In 1873 the city took over control of the cemetery, and a Board of Directors was appointed by the mayor and the city council. Now known as Riverside Cemetery it began to expand to the south on property purchased from various landowners. The main entrance for the cemetery was located on 6th Avenue by the Sexton’s house. At this time William Le Baron Jenney, a prominent Chicago urban planner and architect, designed the hilly 94 acres section of the cemetery. What is now Riverside Park was cemetery property at one time. There was controversy about how cemetery land was being used. The property between the Fourth Avenue Cemetery and the hillside sections of the cemetery were being used for recreational purposes. Around 1909 the cemetery’s board started selling property to the Park Committee and used the proceeds to maintain the cemetery. The Chapel Mausoleum was completed in 1916. The Greek Revival style structure is built of #1 Peerless Buff stone. It contains 800 single crypts, 48 companion niches and features stained glass windows. The last house used by the cemetery’s sexton was moved to the property in 1958. It served as the cemetery office until 1983 when the office was moved Moline Memorial Park. It ceased as the sexton’s home in 1998. It is now used by the Director of Moline Parks & Recreation. Both Riverside Cemetery and Moline Memorial Park have been administered by the Moline Park and Recreation Department since 1978. An historical cemetery walk is sponsored each September called: Echoes From Riverside Cemetery. Costumed actors play the role of one of the people buried in the cemetery. A book was published in 2010 based on the walk.

All Saints Episcopal Church

All Saints Episcopal Church is a parish of the Episcopal Church located in Moline, Illinois. The parish was initially founded as a parish of the Diocese of Qunicy and became part of the Diocese of Chicago following the reunification of the two dioceses. When a large portion of the Quincy diocese decided to leave the Episcopal Church, both Trinity Parish in Rock Island and Christ Church in Moline. In February 2009 members of those two parishes who desired to remain part of the Episcopal Church and wanted to worship on the Illinois side of the Quad Cities formed All Saints. The parish was initially serviced by retired rectors from both parishes and a former deacon of Christ Church. The congregation currently meets at a rental space at Riverside Life Center which was once the Aldersgate Methodist Church.

Where is this?

GuRoute likes to place attractions inside other attractions. So, maybe it's in a city, or maybe it's inside a particular park in that city. Maybe your attraction is a huge park that spans half the county, or multiple counties.

Determining where this attraction is gives it context - if it's in a park, you'll be able to see it alongside all the other attractions in that park. And that helps define the park.

GuRoute will automatically calculate a parent region for this attraction. You can change it if there is something more appropriate.
