LIVE OUT YOUR DREAMS IN
DUBUQUE
Dubuque, on the Mississippi River across from the Illinois/Wisconsin state
line, is a small city of approximately 60,000 and the oldest community in
Iowa, where Frenchman Julien Dubuque arrived in 1785. There is much
to keep a tour group occupied here, beginning with the extensive National
Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium, which relates the story of the river
over the past 300 years. Other museums include the 1856 Shot Tower, the
1857 Old Jail, Heritage House, the Potosi Brewery and National Brewery
Museum, the National Farm Toy Museum, the Dyer-Botsford Doll
Museum, and the Dubuque Museum of Art. The Fenelon Place Elevator,
a funicular, is billed as the "world's shortest and steepest railway." And
there is the Julien Dubuque Monument, the 1873 Town Clock, numerous
Victorian mansions, the Italianate Mathias Ham House, the Dubuque
Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, casinos, and paddlewheeler cruises on
the Mississippi, plus a wide variety of accommodations and dining. Even
the famed Field of Dreams movie set is only a short drive from town.
EFFIGY MOUNDS
NATIONAL MONUMENT
Sacred space
Further north atop the Mississippi River bluffs is one
of only two National Park Service units in Iowa, Effigy
Mounds National Monument, preserving more than 200
mounds built by a prehistoric people, the Effigy Mounds
Culture, who lived in the area as long as 2,500 years ago.
Many in the shape of animals, the mounds include the
remains of ancient burials, and are considered sacred by
modern-day tribes. After a stop at the visitor center to view
an orientation film and pick up a map, you can explore the
site on 14 miles of hiking trails, as well as on a raised boardwalk about one mile long. There is no charge to visit.
