This glimpse into Iowa's geologic past was first exposed during the Floods of 1993 at Coralville Lake, then again more was exposed during the Floods of 2008. The fossils and limestone bedrock of the Devonian Fossil Gorge date back almost 200 million years before the dinosaurs!

Lagomarcino's At East Village Davenport
Lagomarcino’s is so much more than a longstanding Quad City attraction. It’s an American story of family and tradition that has continued for more than hundred years. Angelo Lagomarcino journeyed from northern Italy to New York City in 1896. He worked in New York until 1902 when he returned to Italy to marry Luigia Schenone. The newly-weds returned to the United States after their marriage and settled in Burlington, Iowa. In Burlington, Angelo worked with his brother Carl, in his confectionery near the Burlington Railroad station. While in Burlington, Angelo and Luigia began their family. By 1907 the Lagomarcino’s had two children, Charlie and Mary. Their growing family made Angelo think he should strike off on his own. In early 1908 Angelo found the perfect spot to grow his business – Moline, IL.

Matthiessen State Park
Matthiessen State Park was named for Frederick William Matthiessen, a prominent industrialist and philanthropist from LaSalle. He originally purchased the land near the end of the 19th century and operated it as a privately owned park for many years. Mr. Matthiessen employed about 50 people to construct trails, bridges, stairways and dams. The area was originally referred to as “Deer Park,” in reference to the large deer population. The original 176-acre park consisted primarily of a long, narrow canyon with a small stream flowing through it. At that time, these formations were called “dells,” a name that has stayed with the park. After Mr. Matthiessen’s death, the park was donated to the State of Illinois, which opened it as a public park. In 1943, the state renamed the park in honor of Matthiessen. Since then, the park has grown to 1,938 acres and includes much of the significant natural land along the main dell, some former prairie land, and some forest land south of the original park.

The Tangled Wood - Restaurant & Gastropub
Upon conception, our vision for The Tangled Wood was for Quad Citizens to have a low-key, high-functioning gathering place. It was the next stage in the evolution of the beloved local bar, Governor’s. We believe the new name and vibe embrace the scale and setting of the new location along with the communal feel we are striving for. After all, this wasn’t meant to be just any restaurant where you eat and run. Nope! The Tangled Wood was designed to be a full-on Quad Cities restaurant destination for great food, a variety of drinks and plentiful fun. So, we opened up the restaurant on January 14, 2019, and then got to work on the 8,000 square foot adult playground (kid-friendly, too)!
