121 Allamakee St., Waukon (563) 568-2954 • www.allamakeehistory.orgWithin the 1861 structure, one will discover rooms furnished to reflect the 19th and early 20th century, displays of farm tools, military items, medical room, and the court room-complete with the judge’s bench, chair and gavel. The courthouse was the center of a great controversy between the cities of Waukon and Lansing. Both cities claimed to be the County seat; each raised funds and built courthouses with Lansing completing theirs first. In June of 1866, after ten county seat contests, a posse of 30 men on horseback seized all the county records and took them to this Waukon courthouse. The Iowa Supreme Court later intervened in the dispute, making Waukon the official county seat. Locals today will still speak of the brazen action!

M effiGy Mounds national MonuMent

151 Hwy. 76, Harpers Ferry (563) 873-3491 • www.nps.gov/efmo/index.htmNo visit to Allamakee County would be complete without stopping at Iowa’s only national Monument, Effigy Mounds National Monument. There are 206 known prehistoric Native American Indian mounds within the borders of the park, 31 of which are shaped in the likeness (effigy) of bears or birds.

The 2,526-acre park is divided into two units (North and South) by the Yellow River.

Although most Indian mound groups involve hiking along relatively long and steep trails, three burial mounds are accessible directly behind the Visitor Center. Hiking trails offer modest to extended routes, allowing you to select your route and view a variety

of mounds. An accessible boardwalk trail into the wetlands near the Visitor Center is available for disabled visitors and persons of all walking abilities. Open year-round.

BLACk HAWk BRIDgEIA-9/WI-82 Mississippi River Crossing, LansingCompleted in 1931 at the cost of nearly $750,000. The Black Hawk Bridge crosses the Mississippi River with a design that has attracted not only local, but national attention for its beauty. The cantilever structure spans the Mississippi, joining the states of Iowa and Wisconsin. The bridge was named in honor of the great Sauk leader, Chief Black Hawk and is popularly referred to as the “Lansing Bridge”. The bridge roadway is 21 feet wide with a minimum vertical clearance of 18.5 feet and has a total length, including the main channel crossing and approach spans, of 1,623 feet.

FISH FARM MOuNDS STATE PRESERVEHwy 26, 3 miles S. of New Albin A 3-acre prehistoric cemetery (mound group) located in the southern portion of the 576-acre Fish Farm Mounds Wildlife Area. The Preserve contains a cluster of 30 conical mounds of various sizes, which were built by Native Americans from 100 B.C. to 650 A.D. The Wildlife Area is mostly wooded and is abundant with wildlife, making it a popular hunting area. Site includes picnic shelters and limited hiking and walking trails.

IRON POSTHwy 26, 1/4 mile N. of New AlbinFor many years, the border between Iowa and Minnesota was hotly disputed. Iowans urged the government to use the Minnesota

River as the dividing line, giving Iowa a good portion of what is now southern Minnesota. Minnesotans wanted to use the 42nd parallel as the border, giving them the city of Dubuque & Northern Iowa. In 1849, Captain Thomas J. Lee settled the matter by establishing the border at 43 degrees and 30 minutes north latitude. To solidify his mark, Lee purchased a cast-iron monument on October 19, 1849 and had it installed on the border. This 600-pound cast-iron post marks “Minnesota” on the north, “Iowa” on the south and “1849” & “43-30” (latitude) on the sides. This is the only original marker remaining on the northern boundary

line of the State of Iowa.

MuSEuM OF RIVER HISTORY AND COMMERCIAL FISHINg MuSEuM60 S. Front St., Lansing, (563) 538-4641 or (563) 538-3943 Lansing’s unique history as a river town comes to life in this specialized museum, featuring a collection of memorabilia from the early development of the town. Authentic wooden boats and artifacts offer visitors a glimpse at the early clamming and clamshell button industries, as well as commercial fishing and ice harvesting. An extensive

photograph collection documents the growth of this river town, which was an important ferry point for immigrants crossing the Mississippi River in the early days of westward expansion. Open by appointment.

gJEFLE LOg CABIN121 Allamakee St., Waukon (with the Courthouse Museum)This two-story cabin was originally built by Norwegian immigrants. It housed as many as 15 people at a single time between 1870 and 1886. Cabin was moved to its present site in 1990.

SANDY POINT CEMETERY (Historically known as Harpers Ferry Cemetery) Southern end of Sandy Point Rd, Harpers FerrySurrounded by a modest, black iron fence and shaded by tall oak trees, two very different histories are juxtaposed at this point. Buried in this small cemetery is David Harper, an influential businessman known for his large merchandising business of produce. The town was named after Mr. Harper in 1860 and he is still regarded as a leading spirit in the development of Harpers Ferry and his gravestone still stands in dignified grandeur. But it is what surrounds Mr. Harper’s gravesite that makes this cemetery so unusual: seven

ceremonial Native American mounds. As many as 2500 years before the settlement of Harpers Ferry, this land along the great river was occupied by Native Americans. From the Woodland Period, the people are known for their subsistence

horticulture, ceramics production, diversified hunting/gathering and their extensive trade networks. Midwest archaeological evidence has revealed materials and artifacts from as far west as the area now known as Yellowstone National Park. These people also built earthen structures called “mounds.” Archaeologists speculate that the mounds found at Sandy Point Cemetery, like many other area mounds, were constructed not only as refuges for the dead, but as territorial boundaries between groups.

TuRNER MEMORIAL HALL119 E. Greene St., PostvilleBuilt in 1913, the building shows the predominance of the german-American culture. In 1940 the hall was offered to the town for a reasonable sum. under the Iowa Code of laws, the town could not

legally purchase the building for town hall purposes alone. Thus, the building served two purposes, town hall and as a memorial for the community’s veterans, hence the name “Memorial Hall.” The property was added to National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

WExFORD IMMACuLATE CONCEPTION CHuRCH1416 Co. Hwy. X52, Harpers FerryThis Immaculate Conception Church located in an area called Wexford is reportedly the oldest Catholic Church between Dubuque, Iowa and St. Paul, Minnesota. Located nine miles south of Lansing just off the great River Road, this little stone church is perfectly perched above a charismatic Allamakee County valley. A creek runs along nearby, the sun cascades over the woodland, the road hugs the landscape and it isn’t hard to see why Irish settlers chose this special site to start their community. The church’s simple, elegant interior is full of calm, especially when the late afternoon beams of sunlight stream through the intricate stained glass. Make sure to notice the framed port record on the back wall which lists all the Ticonderoga ship passengers who sailed from Liverpool, England to New Orleans in the winter of 1850. It is many of these listed individuals who deemed this valley their final destination. They constructed a small log church in 1851 under the direction of their pastor Father Thomas Hore. The church you see standing today, completed in 1870, was the third church built at this location.

BYWAYS

driftless areascenic bywaywww.iowabyways.orGThe Driftless Area Scenic Byway is a 100-mile zigzag route known for its natural and scenic attrac-tions. The byway curves, twists and meanders through the most Northeast corner of Iowa in Allamakee County, the heart of a region know as the “Driftless Area”. The term Driftless was developed to describe this distinct region of gashed and furrowed terrain that was by-passed by the last continental glacier that passed over the state of Iowa, centuries ago. The byway stretches out across bluffs, hills, rivers, and valleys. The streams and river valleys have carved down into the land encompassing the byway, giving travelers an opportunity to view some of the most esthetically appealing high relief landscape found anywhere within the state. These geographic features reward byway travelers with countless panoramic vistas and expansive views of hillside pastures, hard-wood forests, majestic limestone bluffs, outcroppings and scenic river valleys. As might be expected, these natural wonders also provide many outdoor recreation opportunities. You can hike miles of state forest trails, fish for trout in cold water stream, explore the Mississippi, Yellow and up-per Iowa Rivers by boat or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful natural scenery. Fall is an especially scenic time on the byway as the hardwood timbers blaze with color. While driving this roller-coaster road, you will discover historic gems nestled within the rugged land. The byway embraces five quaint, historic communities that provide opportunities to experi-ence shopping, entertainment, local foods, town events, festivals and reenactments. Such events provide an insight to the region’s heritage, as do

the dozens of unique mom-and-pop shops and diners. Human settlement of the area began thousands of years ago. Just outside of Harpers Ferry, Effigy Mounds National Monument features a collection of animal-shaped mounds built by prehistoric Native

Americans. The landscape is also dotted with evidence of all those who have settled in the area since that time. You will find historic stone churches, pioneer cemeteries and unique bridges, as well as museums interpreting the heritage of the area. The Driftless Area Scenic Byway is a place where the region’s scenic beauty and rec-

reational opportunities merge, resulting in a distinctive experience of Allamakee County in Northeast Iowa.

tHe Great river road allaMakee countyBegin near New Albin and drive south through forests and farmland to Lan-sing. This old river town gives access

to Mt. Hosmer Park, a panoramic view of the Mississippi Valley

and the tri-state area. Next, explore Yellow River State Forest- 9,000 acres of public hunting, hiking and fishing. Visitors also have

access to 3,000 acres of Mis-sissippi River backwater areas.

This area is truly a sports enthusiast’s paradise. Check out the rest of the great River Road byway by visiting the web site www.experiencemississip-piriver.com.
