Moline, ILLINOIS – WQPT PBS

WQPT is currently producing a local documentary that will give voice to a building with many stories to tell. It’s an institution that has been part of our Quad City history since 1928. Much more than a structure, Wharton Field House has played a significant role in our community’s past, but even more so in many of our personal lives. Beloved by all, it has hosted competitive sports at both the high school and professional level, and been a premier location for entertainment, with appearances by many famous entertainers and personalities including Gene Autry, Jack Benny, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Johnny Cash, and Michelle Obama.
