On Thursday, Nov. 1st, we well meet at 10:00 a.m. at the lodge at Black Hawk State Park, 1510 46th Ave., in Rock Island. We will tour the Hauberg Indian museum (located inside the lodge). This is a fantastic little museum with life-size models of homes and seasonal activities of the Native America tribes (the Sauk and Fox) that once lived in the very area where the museum is located. Here is a map to show you how to get there:
