Dubuque Historic Progressive Dinner Thursday, November 30, 2023 Dubuque, IA

Join us for our fabulous Historic Progressive Dinner with a guided tour of our rich history (we are the oldest city in the state), a delicious course at each location, and of course, we didn’t forget dessert!

The stunning 7 Hills Event Center is a tribute to Dubuque’s industrial past. Featuring floor to ceiling windows, an open layout, and beautifully restored hardwood floors, this space pays homage to the windows and woodworking that used to be manufactured here. 7 Hills will host the main course, chicken and roast beef served with mashed potatoes, creamy corn, and a dinner roll. Once dinner is complete, guests will hear about the transformation of the Millwork District!

A Dubuque icon since 1867, the former home of St. Mary’s Parish is once again the hub of gatherings in Dubquue. Now known as Steeple Square, this is where we will enjoy our first course. The Grazing Station has something for everyone with fruit, cheese and crackers, vegetables, meatballs, and much more! We will be welcomed by staff at Steeple Square to hear the history of this fabulous church!

The Fanny Stout House was built in 1893 by Henry Stout and was given to his daughter in 1898. It is a perfect example of eclectic architecture. The house is filled with rich characteristics, including beautiful woodwork, stunning chandeliers, and stained glass windows. Here, we will enjoy the last course—dessert. We then have one final treat—our Trolley will take us through the Reflections in the Park Christmas light display! Your Connections Club price is just $99 and includes trolley, driver’s gratuity, and all attractions listed above. We will meet the Trolley in the MidWest One parking lot located at 913 Locust St. at 4:45 p.m.
