Where markets take place year-round and local goods are shared by good locals. It’s where you’ll come to visit but want to stay. Dubuque is #WhereIowaStarted.

get to know Iowa’s oldest community

Dubuque was founded in 1833. That is 13 years before the state of Iowa. With our claim as #WhereIowaStarted comes a unique mash-up of old & new, quirky & quaint, traditional & unconventional. You'll find day trip discoveries and nightlife excursions. Up-and-coming artists alongside world-renowned masters. Local boutiques that create and sell heirloom goods. Restaurants thriving generation after generation alongside eateries that have made a mark in just a few years. Baseball's most famous field and the movie that started it all. Our neck of the woods is layered in history and tradition yet celebrates innovation and forward-thinking. Dubuque is a place unlike any other, and we can't wait to show you around.

DOWNTOWN

Situated between limestone bluffs and the Mississippi River, the heart of Dubuque features brick buildings, the Town Clock, delicious dining, and much more.

PORT OF DUBUQUE

The Port was once a hub for river traffic that hauled logs up and down the mighty Mississippi. Today, the area is known for its recreation and location along the river.

COLLEGE GRANDVIEW

This area is home to 4 colleges and universities! These and many other opportunities for higher education are available throughout the region.

HISTORIC MILLWORK

Where revitalized warehouses span city blocks, the Historic Millwork District is one of the latest public-private efforts to celebrate Dubuque's history #WhereIowaStarted.

SOUTH END

Home to the Mines of Spain Recreation Area and rolling hills, the South End District is known for its abundance of natural wonder.

WEST END

The West End of Dubuque is a bustling area with varied occupants, from some of the community's largest employers to shopping areas and parks.

FALL

Limestone bluffs stretch on for miles, turning every shade of autumn imaginable. Visit Schuster’s Pumpkin Patch or family-owned Czipar’s Apple Orchard and spend the day taking in the magic of fall.

WINTER

Midwest winters mean a lot of snow and a lot of fun. With Dubuque’s location along limestone bluffs and rolling hills, skiing and snowboarding are always on the agenda at Sundown Mountain Resort.

Dubuque is made up of areas you'll want to explore year-round.

SUNDOWN MOUNTAIN RESORT

A TALE OF IOWA'S OLDEST COMMUNITY

HISTORIC SHOT TOWER

Dubuque’s Shot Tower was built in 1856 to produce lead shot for the military. Molten lead poured through a grate at the top of the tower. Then, the relatively uniform drops fell from the grate and landed in the water below, which cooled the lead into its solid state.

Origins

The Meskwaki Tribe cared for the land and resources along the Mississippi River valley.

The first Farmers' Market was held in Dubuque. The event continues today as Iowa's oldest farmers' market.

1909 EAGLE POINT PARK

Eagle Point Park opened after a citizen's committee worked to purchase land that was deeded to the city for the development of a park.

1846

Iowa became a state 13 years after the Black Hawk Purchase Treaty.

1919

A flood wiped out much of Union Park, a recreational area that gained national attention since its opening in 1891. Over the years, it featured a bowling alley, theater, dance halls, and more. While they rebuilt following the flood's devastation, the park eventually faded in popularity and closed. Today, you can see building remains while ziplining over the area at Sky Tours Zipline.

The first permanent European settler in the area was a FrenchCanadian fur trader named Julien Dubuque.

1833

Under the Black Hawk Purchase Treaty in 1833, the United States Government opened the area for settlement.

Dubuque

1837

Waples House was constructed at the corner of 2nd & Main. This hotel was later renamed Hotel Julien Dubuque.

1873

TOWN CLOCK

The Town Clock was erected atop a downtown Main Street building in 1873. The clock, which moved to its current location in 1971, maintains an accurate time within half a second, and weighs 13 tons.

The area came to be known as Dubuque when chartered in 1837.

JULIEN DUBUQUE MONUMENT

Erected to mark Dubuque's burial spot, this 29' high, 12' in diameter monument is still visible to the public.

1882

FENELON PLACE ELEVATOR

The Fenelon Place Elevator was built by J.K. Graves, a banker who lived at the top of the bluff but worked at the bottom. To cut his commute time down (to get in a nap over lunch), he built the elevator that is now an iconic staple of Dubuque's bluffs.

John Deere

1943

Julien Dubuque Bridge was built. The bridge crosses over from Iowa into Illinois.

HOTEL JULIEN DUBUQUE

Dubuque baseball was booming. In 1955 the city set a minor league record for attendance, drawing over 100,000 fans to games.

1985

Dubuque Greyhound park opened as the nation's first nonprofit greyhound track. This marks the origins of DRA, a resource for organizations to improve the community.

FIELD OF DREAMS Shot in Dyersville, Iowa (25 miles from Dubuque) in 1988 and later released in 1989.

1973

2009

2003

National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium opened as a result of a public-private partnership to revitalize the area now known as the Port of Dubuque. 2023 will mark their 20th anniversary!

The Mississippi River is the world’s fourth longest river and makes its way through Dubuque’s front yard. With a rich culture tied to the waterway, it is common to see riverboats making their way up and down the river even today.

The name Mississippi comes from the Anishinaabe people who called the river ‘Misi-ziibi,’ which means ‘great river’.

THE Great #WHEREIOWASTARTED

Mississippi Riverwalk VIEWS

The area’s heritage is intertwined with the river, and its influence is everywhere, from the landscape carved by the waterway to the industries that thrived along it.

While initially known for its fur trading and lead mining, settlers eventually brought new businesses to the area, such as button making, boat construction and millworking. At the turn of the century, Dubuque's Millwork District was booming.

Today, you can explore some of that history with a 19th-century belt-driven machine shop that once created motors for racing boats on the Mississippi. The Iowa Marine Engine & Launch Works is a 3,000-square-foot exhibit at the National Mississippi River

Museum & Aquarium that provides hands-on learning for kids and adults alike.

What else can you see at this Smithsonian-affiliated museum? A variety of wildlife that calls the mighty Mississippi home! While you'll find river otters, an alligator, turtles, fish, stingrays, and more, the river is home to 260 species of fish, 326 species of birds (including the American Bald Eagle and the Great Blue Heron), 145 species of amphibians, and 50 species of mammals.

The Mississippi River is 2,530 miles long from its source at Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico.

From its source in northern Minnesota to the gulf, the Mississippi River drops 1,475 feet.

It takes a raindrop 90 days to travel the length of the river.

25% of all North American fish species live in the river.

60% of all North American birds use the river basin as their migratory flyway.

The Mississippi and Missouri Rivers combine to form the longest river system in the U.S. and North America. It is also the fourth longest in the world.

FOLLO W THE HERITAGE TRAIL

The Heritage Trail is a 26-mile, scenic, all-season trail that winds through beautiful landscapes carved out by a oncebustling railroad route.

When the railroad abandoned the line in the 1980s, work began to acquire the land to create the Heritage Trail. Trail segments opened in 1982, with the main corridor (Dyersville to Dubuque) completed in 1986. Since then, more stretches of trail have been incorporated to connect into portions of downtown Dubuque. Today, thousands of visitors traverse the trail each year.

Market

Since 1845, Dubuque has had an affinity for markets. (Being home to Iowa's longest-running Farmers' Market will do that to a community.) With a market happening each week, they are the perfect addition to your next visit.

IOWA'S OLDEST MARKET

DUBUQUE FARMERS' MARKET

In 1845 the first farmers' market was held in Dubuque. The idea of a market was believed to have been brought to the area by settlers from Philadelphia. Fast forward to 1858, farmers were backing their wagons up to the 11' tall windows of a newly built City Hall where they could unload the produce inside stalls. Slowly the market grew to span city blocks and eventually added artisans to the mix of vendors on-site. Today, you can still see the mix of food and art on display, with a rotation of over 120 vendors participating.

+ THE DETAILS: Saturdays from 7 am - 12 pm May through October (*market opens at 8am during the month of October)

+ WHAT YOU'LL SEE: Produce, meats, eggs, baked goods, confections, homemade pasta and sauces, cheeses, honey, herbs, flowers, arts, crafts, live music, food trucks, and more.

+ WHAT TO KNOW: You can start planning your market visit with our Farmers' Market Bucket List on traveldubuque.com/farmersmarket

NIGHT MARKET

Not an early riser? Then Millwork Night Market is the place for you. Taking place under the evening sky in the Historic Millwork District, you'll find local food, art, drinks, and unique goods. Surrounded by brick buildings, this market's atmosphere is made for those looking to connect with local farmers while enjoying a nightlife experience. With a rotating lineup of musicians and vendors, this market should be added to your list.

+ THE DETAILS: The second Thursday of the month May - October.

+ WHAT YOU'LL SEE: Artists, crafters, growers, producers, processors, on-site food, drinks, and live music.

+ WHAT TO KNOW: While some vendors accept cards, it's wise to bring cash along. Also, beer and wine are for sale starting at 5 pm with alcohol sales ending 15 minutes before market closing.

FARMERS' MARKET

Just because colder weather comes to Dubuque during the winter months doesn't mean market fun stops. That's when Winter Farmers' Market kicks off! Located at Kennedy Mall in the West Concourse, this market has been a tradition since 2007. In-season produce, locally raised meats, canned goods, and more are available as you get your market fix indoors.

+ THE DETAILS: Saturday from 9 am - 12 pm November through April.

+ WHAT YOU'LL SEE: Produce, meats, honey, canned goods, hot food, and more.

+ WHAT TO KNOW: A market recycling program is offered where glass jars, plastic containers, and egg cartons are available for reuse. Most vendors accept cards but it's always safe to bring along cash.

Typically taking place in early December, the Merry Millwork Market features local artisans specializing in handmade and homegrown goods. Taking place outdoors in the Historic Millwork District, you can expect to see holiday cheer, lighted trees, and maybe even an appearance from the big guy in red.

+ THE DETAILS: Early December

+ WHAT YOU'LL SEE: Tree lighting, Santa, carolers, food, drinks, handmade and homegrown gifts.

+ WHAT TO KNOW: The tree lighting and Santa appearances take place at a specific time, so check the event out for more details.

MID WEST CLUBS Supper

Supper clubs are a real Midwest treat meant to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Snack on a relish tray or salad bar, sip on an Old Fashioned or two, and get ready for a laid-back meal with good company and good food. Here are a few reasons you should add them to your Dubuque itinerary.

It’s a time to unwind.

Supper clubs aren't fussy. It's all about the experience and the company you have with you. Conversations are meant to be had while making trips to the salad bar, snacking on dips, and waiting for that tasty entree to make its way to the table. Stretch the evening out by ordering a nightcap or dessert drink - you won't regret it!

The nostalgia.

With dim lighting, wood paneling, and maybe even some patterned wallpaper, supper clubs take things back to a time when things were a little simpler.

Relish trays & salad bars.

Olives, eggs, veggies, meats, and a good ol’ cheese spread are just some of the things you might find on a supper club relish tray. Venture to the salad bar and you’ll find all the fixins for a salad along with a variety of goodies like macaroni salad, coleslaw, and maybe even a Jell-O concoction or two.

Entrees for days.

Prime rib? Check. Mouthwatering steaks? You betcha. Fish fry? Of course. These entrees don’t disappoint and are often accompanied with words like “if you go there you gotta try the…”

Ice cream drinks.

Pink Squirrels and Grasshoppers are the best way to end a night at a supper club. These drinkable desserts are made with liqueur and ice cream, but if you are traveling with little ones –these can often be made kid friendly.
