I AM MORE THAN A CITY. I’m an almost 200 year old Midwest town just waiting to sweep you off your feet.

MY INTERESTS

I live next to the Mississippi River, so I'm all about riverside picnics, sunset strolls, and showing off my natural beauty. I'm a foodie at heart and love trying new places, but I'm also down for revisiting my usual stomping grounds. I like to catch live bands, dance the night away, and enjoy outdoor concerts. I've been around since 1833, so I have a lot of history to show you, from my brick-lined streets and historic architecture to iconic landmarks and established neighborhoods. I'm a place where natural wonder meets charming history. I'm made up of adventures within and outside of my city limits. My neighbors in Dubuque,

Jackson, Jones, and Delaware County are pretty cool too if you're into small-town charm and scenic drives. Whether you're into action-packed adventure or just taking in the sights, I'll be sure to steal your heart.

JULIEN DUBUQUE MONUMENT AT MINES OF SPAIN

@ALYSSABOWERS

LANDMARKS OF THE PAST

where are they now? FENELON PLACE ELEVATOR: J.K. Graves built the elevator in 1882 because he lived at the top of the bluff but worked at the bottom. Today, the elevator still runs April through November and is a must-see stop. JULIEN DUBUQUE MONUMENT: This 29-foot high, 12-foot-diameter monument was erected in 1897 to mark Julien Dubuque's burial spot. The monument still stands tall in the Mines of Spain.

HISTORIC SHOT TOWER

@JUSTINEWILLIAMS2823

HISTORIC SHOT TOWER: The Shot Tower was constructed in 1856 to produce lead shot by pouring molten lead through a grate, which would would fall to the water below, cooling it into its solid state. Today, the Shot Tower's exterior can be viewed in the Port of Dubuque. 15

are popular for activities like hiking, canoeing, and rock climbing.

The Great Jones County Fair is a lively celebration of agriculture, music, and local culture, featuring performances, carnival rides, and exhibits.

A little farther west on your road trip, you'll find Delaware County. Rich with natural wonder, it is the perfect place to get outside and explore.

For those who want to learn more about the area, Kendrick Forest Products offers public (and interesting) tours of their family-owned sawmill, the largest and oldest in Iowa. Sherman's Pumpkin Farm in Manchester is the perfect way to spend a fall day. Pair it with a photo op at the World's Largest Umpire in Ryan or the Lake Delhi Mural in downtown Delhi, and you'll have memories to last a lifetime.

LOCALS CALL IT:

Shot Tower

Not to be confused with the historic landmark, this pizza joint has proudly served up pies since 1967. Situated in downtown Dubuque, Shot Tower consistently tops local's lists of places to grab pizza. While known for their pizzas, they also offer sandwiches, comfort-level dinners, pasta, and more.

LOCALS CALL IT:

Mario's

Bier Stube

Since 1977, Tonio Mario Bertolini's restaurant, Mario's, has been a Dubuque staple. Born in Italy and raised in Queens, his menu boasts panzerottis, stuffed shells, lasagna, and specialties like Carmela's Chicken Parmesan and Angelina's Tortellini.

Europa Haus exudes an old-world pub charm in both ambiance and menu. With rich wood paneling and memorabilia, it's a local favorite. Indulge in authentic German fare like Polish sausages, beef rouladen, and enjoy a diverse selection of German beers. 61
