The Mathias Ham House is a 19th-century house in
Eagle Point Park and Riverview Park.[3]
Description
The house was designed by
Italian Villa style.[2]
The Mathias Ham House has been restored and transformed into a museum showcasing life during the
Eagle Point Park in Dubuque before being moved to the Mathias Ham House Historic Site.[2]
Additionally, a one-room schoolhouse (the former Humke School) was relocated to the property. A replica
mine shaft and "badger hole" or "badger hut" were constructed on the property to educate the public about Dubuque's lead mining history.[citation needed
