Dubuque County Historical Society's Preservation & Restoration through Campus Improvements project will focus on preserving and maintaining our historical structures and intellectual property, expanding the river story that relates directly to history and innovation, and reinvigorating our interpretation model to provide the 21st century learner with real-world, vital, interdisciplinary, and design-based learning that relates directly to the humanities.
