Today, Deere & Company is one of the world's most admired businesses. But in 1837, John Deere, blacksmith and inventor, had little more than a blacksmith shop, a discarded steel saw, and an idea that would help farmers, changing the face of agriculture for all time. Since its founding in 1837, John Deere history has seen a great many changes in its business, its products, its services.
Take a trip to Grand Detour, Illinois. Walk where John Deere walked, and lived, and invented the world-famous plow. When you tour the John Deere Historic Site, you can experience what life must have been like in 1837.
