Know the area

US 61, the caves and the old downtown

US 61 adjoins the city and carries traffic between Dubuque and the Quad Cities. IA 62 and IA 64 also pass through town. A four-lane US 61 bypass opened around 1967 and moved traffic and shops off Main Street to the west side.

Maquoketa Caves State Park is a few miles northwest, and the city sits on the Maquoketa River. A 2008 fire burned a large part of the Victorian downtown. The Clinton Engines Museum and the 61 Drive-in are also around town. A new hospital opened in 2019.
