About River Heritage Park: 
Davenport's new park sits on the site of one of the area's most notable historical landmarks. The site's history includes: the western side of the first Mississippi River railroad bridge, where the treaty ending the Black Hawk War was signed, how Robert E. Lee surveyed the river's rapids, and Abraham Lincoln's involvement in the Effie Afton incident. In addition to the 800-ft. of railing, the park includes the new Rotary Gazebo. The park sits on a 7-acre green space just up river of the Arsenal Bridge. The park is accessed off of River Drive between 3rd and 4th Streets.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING

I would just like to give a shout out to Adam for all of his work this morning. He was actually at my neighbors house, installing a pump for her basement. I asked him if he had anymore pumps on his truck, he said "yep, 42 of them". Of course, he was joking, but he did have one more pump. When he was finished with my neighbor, he promptly came over and installed my pump. I have over 8" of water in my basement that's 2,500 sq. ft. in size. Adam was very professional, positive and had a great sense of humor. This was the first time I have ever used, Crawford Companies, but it will NOT be the last! Thanks again Adam!
