Julien Dubuque's Mines is a historic district which includes Julien Dubuque Monument. The site is significant for being the location of the Meskwaki-operated lead mine district overseen by Julien Dubuque ca. 1788–1810. The area was known as the "Mines of Spain" because Dubuque was required to submit his claims to Spain, who controlled the territory prior to 1801. After his death, the Meskwaki built a log crypt for Dubuque; which was replaced in the late 19th century by an imposing stone monument. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993.〔 The Mines of Spain NHL district designation includes five associated NRHP sites: *Julien Dubuque Monument (NRHP 88002662) *Mines of Spain Area Rural Community Archeological District (NRHP 88002663) *Mines Of Spain Lead Mining Community Archeological District (NRHP 88002664) *Dubuque Trading Post-Village Of Kettle Chief Archeological District (NRHP 88002665) *Mines of Spain Prehistoric District (NRHP 88002666) == See also == * Mines of Spain State Recreation Area and E.
