In this episode we're traveling to Dubuque, Iowa. Dubuque is the oldest city in Iowa and has traditionally been one of the largest. We'll revisit some of the classic tourist sites and check out some new ones. At the junction of three states (Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa), Dubuque has an impressive collection of firsts being the first city founded in Iowa. It is also in the midst of a period of renovation and growth. Much of that growth is in the Port Authority in a curve of the Mississippi River. Follow along on our Trolley Tour and learn more about Dubuque.
