WELCOME!
Y
ou will find an entirely different experience in Allamakee County,
the Northeast corner of Iowa! Deeply carved river valleys,
upward reaching bluffs and outdoor activities for all seasons, are
just a few things that make our county one of a kind! We have
spectacular views of bluffs, the longest trout stream in the state,
and the only National Monument in Iowa.
Allamakee is the place for adventure, family friendly experiences &
unrivaled natural beauty.
Besides our natural surroundings, Allamakee County offers quaint
downtowns, one of a kind shops and history that may surprise you. Did you
know that Jefferson Davis spent time in Allamakee County? Davis was sent
to Allamakee County to open the first saw mill west of the Mississippi River
because he was courting President Zachary Tyler’s daughter. Despite Tyler’s
effort, they did end up getting married on June 17, 1835.
We hope you find this brochure a useful and educational resource that will entice
you to visit Allamakee County. We, Allamakee County Economic Development &
Tourism (ACED), are proud to promote our wonderful county and we hope you
enjoy it as much as we do. We are able to provide this brochure and other resources
because of our business members. Without their support we would not be able to
achieve the goals we have reached, provide the services we offer and create the
marketing materials to help promote our county.
ACED members are denoted in this brochure by the “ M ” symbol and bold. Please
thank the ACED members when you have the opportunity to do business with them.

& Genealogy Research
121 Allamakee St., Waukon
(563) 568-2954 • www.allamakeehistory.org
Within 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!
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.

Effigy Mounds National
Monument
151 Hwy. 76, Harpers Ferry
(563) 873-3491 • www.nps.gov/efmo/index.htm
No 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.
IA-9/WI-82 Mississippi River Crossing, Lansing
Completed 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 Preserve
Hwy 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.
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.

and Minnesota was hotly disputed. Iowans

60 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.

Gjefle Log Cabin
(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.
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.
Sandy Point Cemetery
(Historically known as Harpers Ferry Cemetery)
Southern end of Sandy Point Rd,
Harpers Ferry
Surrounded 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 Hall
119 E. Greene St., Postville
Built 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

Wexford Immaculate
Conception Church
1416 Co. Hwy. X52, Harpers Ferry
This 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.

Area Scenic
Byway is
recognized as
the most scenic
byway in Iowa!

BYWAYS • MAP
Driftless Area
Scenic Byway
www.iowabyways.org
The Driftless Area Scenic Byway is a
100-mile zigzag route known for its
natural and scenic attractions. 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, hardwood 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 Upper 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 experience shopping, entertainment, local
foods, town events, festivals and
reenactments. Such events provide an
insight to the region’s heritage, as do
26
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 recreational opportunities merge, resulting
in a distinctive experience of Allamakee
County in Northeast Iowa.
