About Dubuque

Who would have thought that the stark community settled in 1788 by a rough gaggle of French-Canadian lead miners would grow into today's genteel city, nestled among the limestone bluffs of the Mississippi River? Dubuque continues to defy expectations. Visitors are first struck by the almighty presence of Old Man River. Three of the town's museums are dedicated to the Mississippi, its riverboats and its early explorers. Those who desire a first-hand look can take a ride on the Spirit of Dubuque, a traditional paddle wheel boat. Evening cruises on riverboat gambling junkets offer another, more decadent, way of touring the river. Dubuque offers plenty of vistas for those who prefer to do their sight seeing from on high. The city boasts the shortest, steepest scenic cable car in the country. The quick but breath-taking ride deposits you in Fenelon Place, an area of spectacularly well-preserved Victorian homes. The town has been reinvigorated by several improvement plans, including the America's River project, a multi-million dollar refurbishment of the historic Port of Dubuque.

Did you know?

Dubuque is a popular site for Hollywood filmmakers. The 1978 flick "F.I.S.T." was filmed here, as was 1981's "Pennies from Heaven." But the film that continues to draw visitors to the area is the Kevin Costner hit, "Field of Dreams." Each year thousands of devotees venture to the bleachers outside of town to "watch" baseball games played by ghosts among the corn.
