Veterans Memorial Plaza

Set along the Riverwalk at the water's edge in the Port of Dubuque, Veterans Memorial Plaza is a beautifully designed outdoor tribute to the men and women from Dubuque County who served in the United States military. Granite monuments, a circular plaza design, and interpretive elements honoring veterans of multiple conflicts create a place for quiet reflection against the backdrop of the Mississippi River. The location — with the river flowing past and the bluffs of Iowa and Wisconsin framing the view — gives the memorial a grandeur that belies its modest size. A moving stop on any Riverwalk stroll and one of the most thoughtfully situated memorials in the state.
