Dubuque

Arts and culture

Dubuque has several notable parks, particularly Eagle Point Park and the Mines of Spain State Recreation Area. Eagle Point is mostly situated on a bluff that overlooks the Mississippi River and the Lock and Dam No. 11. Mines of Spain includes hiking trails and archaeological sites from an early lead mining venture led by Julien Dubuque, as well as Dubuque's gravesite. Dubuque's waterfront features the Ice Harbor and, just north of it, the Diamond Jo Dubuque casino and Grand River Event Center. Linwood Cemetery is the resting place of many notable figures.
