There is no better way to learn the rich history of Dubuque than the Historic Progressive Dinner. Start with an appetizer at a former church with the tallest spire in Dubuque. The main course will include live musical entertainment in a location that was at one time the home of the largest employer in Dubuque, the former Farley & Loetcher lumber company. End the evening at one of the few remaining Victorian homes in the community, the Fannie Stout House. The event includes a step on guide.
