RIAHS Speaker Series

The Rock Island Arsenal Historical Society Speaker Series features engaging talks that explore the history, people, and stories connected to the Rock Island Arsenal and the Quad Cities region.

Throughout the year, we host a variety of speakers who share their knowledge of military history, local history, preservation efforts, and unique perspectives tied to the Arsenal’s past and present.

Details about each upcoming speaker and topic will be shared as they are confirmed. Please check back for updates and plan to join us for an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and connect with others who share an interest in the rich history of the Rock Island Arsenal.

All programs are free and open to the public.
