ALLAMAKEE COUNTY HISTORICAL CENTER/OLD COURTHOUSE MUSEUM
Location: 121 Allamakee Street, Waukon
 The interior and exterior of this 1863 building have been preserved to reflect the time of its construction, including the bell tower, which houses the original bell. The whole family will enjoy a step backwards in time as you visit displays of period clothing and furnishings, including the piano and organ from the historic Wexford church (located in the rural Lafayette Township area). A medical exhibit includes an operating table and instruments used by physicians during the early years of the county's settlement. The original second-floor courtroom is intact and includes a display of law books, judge's chair and bench, witness chair, and the jury box. For more information, call (563) 568-2954.
