Kaffee und Kuchen: The Hauberg Estate

In 1956, the family of Denkmann-Weyerhauser lumber company heiress Susanne Denkmann and her husband John Hauberg gifted their home to the City of Rock Island to be used as a civic center. In 2016, the non-profit Friends of the Hauberg Civic Center Foundation was organized to oversee the preservation and sustainability of the house and grounds. Come learn about the past, present and future of this magnificent treasure!
