Captain's Ball

Friday, Nov. 5, 2021!

Captain’s Ball 2021 is back, in-person, at the River Museum.

Dust off your boots, chaps and cowboy/cowgal hats for a Wild West celebration you won’t forget!

The evening will begin at 6:00 p.m. (CST) on Friday, November 5, 2021, in Wild West theme! You won't want to miss this exciting event with cocktail hour and appetizers, games, auction, entertainment, food and maybe a few surprises.

Join us in celebrating 70+ years of success, while you help the Dubuque County Historical Society, National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium, Mathias Ham Historic Site, National Rivers Hall of Fame, and RiverWorks Discovery remain champions for conservation, preservation, and dynamic learning experiences.

It is because of your ongoing support for this event that the Historical Society serves as a leading cultural institution in the region and contributes to a vibrant community that engages all those who reside here today and for generations to come.

This year, your support of Captain’s Ball: Wild West is key to ensuring the success and livelihood of our organization.
