Hotel Julien Dubuque â–˛
We really enjoyed our time... here at the National Holstein Convention with bringing in over a thousand members to enjoy the Holstein cattle and all of the events we had here in Dubuque. I cannot tell you how impressed I was with the convention center. The hospitality was just fantastic. I live in Vermont and I have been through Dubuque a number of times in my life but I had no idea that this gem was here. We get in a lot of different states and cities for meetings and conventions and this was as good as it gets. The view of the Mississippi River cannot be topped and again the hospitality was great, the hotel was great, everything was convenient and everything you needed was right there. I say if you are looking for a great place for a meeting, convention or just a vacation, you can’t beat Dubuque."

Northeast Iowa School of Music
The city of Dubuque... immediately came to mind when I was asked to host a conference in Iowa for my fellow state park directors from all 50 states and a few people from Canada. The conference was held in September 2013 and it could not have been any better. Dubuque has done so much to beautify the city over the last 15+ years. Citizens and visitors can be very proud of the riverfront area and all the wonderfully restored buildings in the downtown. More than 200 people from all across the nation attended the conference and many of them personally told me that they will return some time in the future with their family. Thank you Dubuque for helping make the 2013 National Association of State Park Directors Conference a huge success!”

Chaplain Schmitt Memorial 1801 Admiral Sheehy Drive | Dubuque, IA 52001
Father Aloysius Schmitt of Dubuque, IA, served as chaplain to the USS Oklahoma. The first chaplain to die in World War II, Father Schmitt perished while heroically attempting to save others following the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
