Dubuque, Iowa Museum Looks To Recovery After Fire

Officials at a Dubuque museum say it could cost more than $1 million and months of work to recover from a December fire. Fire damage was minimal during the Dec. 14 fire at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium, but there was extensive smoke and water damage to one of two primary buildings. John Oglesby, the museum’s facilities manager, says a sprinkler system drenched an exhibit area and gift shop. It eventually entered a basement.
