    It’s been a couple years that the family has been there but , one of the things that they had was a simulation of a flood plan with a creek that ran though a farm. They would start the flow of water and then increase the water flow to show the damage that water can do. Very interesting place to visit.

    I’m surprised no one jumped on this so I guess it’s up to me.

    You are old river stuff Brian.

    I just heard about that museum recently so it’s on my bucket list. Thanks

    The river museum really is a great place. Fun and interesting for all ages.

    Dubuque has done a great job developing its riverfront. From the north end of town at Lock and Dam #11 all the way downstream to the Mines or Spain recreational area.
