Inspire Stewardship

Donations to the River Museum support conservation efforts and expand educational opportunities.

Toad-ally in love!

The Wyoming Toad was once a critically endangered species-at one point, there were only seven toads in the wild. Since 2008, the River Museum has helped breed and release 50,000 Wyoming toad tadpoles back to Wyoming.

How many objects are in our collection?

The Dubuque County Historical Society has 26,000 artifacts, but that number changes often through new donations and deaccessions.

So many ways to learn

From on-site adventures to outreach programs that rock, the River Museum provides a wide variety of fun historic, cultural, and STEM-related programs for youth.

Guess What

The River Museum opened in 2003, and is the flagship entity of the Dubuque County Historical Society which was founded in 1950.
