Friday, Nov. 4, 2022!
It’s an evening where the coolest cats come together
to celebrate history, science, and conservation.
The evening will begin at 6:00 p.m. (CST) on Friday, November 4, 2022, in Fabulous 50s 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: Fabulous 50s is key to ensuring the success and livelihood of our organization.
