Fort Madison, Iowa, USA: Historic Industrial City on the Mississippi River
Fort Madison, the county seat of Lee County in southeastern Iowa, is one of the oldest cities in the state (founded in 1808), with a prime location along the Mississippi River. Famous for the "first railroad bridge over the Mississippi River" (now a National Historic Landmark), the city has been an important hub for rail and water transportation since the 19th century, and has a strong industrial base, with manufacturing, energy, and agriculture as the mainstays of the economy, as well as large institutions such as the state penitentiary. The well-preserved historic landscape attracts history buffs with its 19th-century-style business district, riverwalk, and the site of an old military barracks (Fort Madison), and the annual Old Fort Days festival showcases Midwestern heritage. As a key point on the Mississippi River Scenic Byway, Fort Madison's blend of natural beauty and industrial heritage makes it a unique destination for experiencing the history and vibrancy of Southeast Iowa.
