  • TRAVEL TIPS for NATIONALS 2017 Exploring the Tri-State Area (Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin)
    TRAVEL TIPS FOR NATIONALS 2017 Exploring the Tri-State Area (Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin) REALLY IMPORTANT TIP: Always, always keep your parking meter fed in Dubuque (Saturdays too)!!!! A Brief (Very Brief) History of Dubuque (see www.encyclopediadubuque.org for more) In 1788, Julien Dubuque, a French-Canadian, was granted rights by the Mesquakie (aka Meskwaki) Indians to mine their land for lead; he settled near the mouth of Catfish Creek (now part of the State Park, Mines of Spain Recreation Area). Dubuque, for whom the city is named, is considered to be the first white man to settle in Iowa, making Dubuque the oldest City in Iowa. For followers of the “Triple Crown Race”, La Classique internationale de Canots de la Mauricie (Shawinigan) in Quebec, Canada, Julien Dubuque, was born in Trois-Rivières (his childhood cradle is located in the Mississippi River Museum). Imagine the journey he made by water to arrive here! So, it is somehow fitting that the 50th Annual USCA National Championships should be held on “the Father of Waters,” the 2nd longest river in the United States, 4th longest in the world (including Missouri and Jefferson River feeds). In 1965, after severe flooding of much of the downtown area, a flood wall was built to protect Dubuque’s citizens and structures from future flooding, so much of the waterfront is rimmed in native limestone and protected by flood gates. Chaplain Schmitt Island, (named after Father Aloysius H. Schmitt) aka City Island, is Race HQ for Nationals 2017. Formerly an airport, a city dump site and a car racing track, it is now a recreational area, with a hiking/biking trail, an indoor iceskating arena (open to the public), baseball fields, boat docks, Dubuque Water Sports Club, Miller Riverview Park Campground, casino, hotel.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 What makes a place thrive? What factors boost a community’s economy and quality of life? The answers to these questions often involve a community’s sense of identity and place — the unique characteristics, heritage and creativity that make each dot on the map different from the one down the road. The Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs helps Iowans build culturally vibrant communities in every corner of the state — cities and small towns full of arts and creativity, history, film and culture where people want to work, raise a family and really live. Chris Kramer Indeed, Iowa’s unmatched quality of life gives our state a competitive edge. Director But we can always do more. Iowa Department Throughout this report, you’ll find examples of innovative Iowans who have tapped into of Cultural Affairs the department’s extraordinary resources, training and support to transform their big ideas into reality. You’ll find Iowans who have used the department’s grants, workshops, research centers and more as catalysts for positive and sustainable change in each of Iowa’s 99 counties. You’ll also find an array of educational opportunities for Iowans of all ages. A broad-based education in history, culture and the arts challenges students to think both creatively and critically and prepares them to become entrepreneurs, teachers, writers, lawyers and more — and to adapt to the ever-changing global environment. After graduation, opportunities for professional development cultivate Iowa’s next generation of leaders. Here at the department, we’re proud to help Iowans understand where we came from and to broaden the possibilities for where we’re going next.
