The Dubuque County Historical Society (DCHS) was recently awarded nearly $24,000 in operating support from the City of Dubuque Arts and Cultural Affairs grant program. This funding will support DCHS’s two museums, The National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium and the Mathias Ham Historic Site. The funding will help efforts to provide programs, exhibits, and outreach for 2026.
Since 2005, the City of Dubuque Arts and Culture grant programs have awarded $4.3 million in support of local arts and culture organizations that advance the work outlined in the City’s Arts and Culture Master Plan.
