The John Hauberg Museum of Native American Life was opened in the lodge in 1939[3] with a collection started by Dr. John Hauberg, a Rock Island philanthropist and president of Augustana College. The museum interprets the story of the Sauk and Meskwaki tribes that lived in the area in a village called the Saukenuk.[4] It was considered one of the largest Native American villages in North America.[3] The collection includes winter and summer houses used by the tribes, and dioramas that depict the lives of the people who lived here from 1750-1830.[2] Artifacts include authentic trade goods, jewelry and domestic items as well as the 18 tonne sculpture of Black Hawk, created in 1892 by Welsh sculptor David Richards (1829-1897).
