In the early 1900’s, the Hauberg’s were major philanthropists for the Quad City community.
Susanne Hauberg founded the West End Settlement and the Rock Island Y.W.C.A. With the help of her siblings, Susanne created children's camps. She also donated the Denkmann Memorial Library to Augustana College.
John Hauberg made Black Hawk’s Watch Tower a state park in 1927. On top of that, he created the John Hauberg Indian Museum with his personal collection of artifacts. He also recorded oral histories of the area’s pioneers, which can be found at the Rock Island County Historical Society Library.
