Voted Iowa’s No. 1 tourist attraction in 2004 and serving more than 230,000 visitors annually, National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium has a mission “to explore life of the Mississippi River, and the rivers of the United States, and to collect, preserve, and interpret their stories for present and future generations.” It is also an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution and a Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Center partner. The Tourism Cares grant will assist the Dubuque Country Historical Society, as part of its expansion plans, in restoring the 1934-built National Landmark Steamboat William M. Black, the site’s centerpiece and an American icon.
