He was a man of courage, wisdom and strength. While his famewas not legendary, it was prominent in northwest Illinois. Born Joseph Hamil<strong>to</strong>n Daviess on March 4, 1774,in Bedford County, Virginia, he moved with his parents <strong>to</strong> Danville, Kentucky, at a young age. Admitted<strong>to</strong> the state’s bar in 1795, he went on <strong>to</strong> serve as the United States district at<strong>to</strong>rney for Kentucky. In 1811,Daviess volunteered <strong>to</strong> serve in the Indiana militia but was killed later that year while leading a chargeagainst the Native Americans in the Battle of Tippecanoe. His bravery and intelligence earned him therank of colonel.Then in 1827, the flow of population in<strong>to</strong> northwest Illinois, mostly in<strong>to</strong> the <strong>Galena</strong> area for lead mining,encouraged the state legislature <strong>to</strong> form a new county. After much debate, the name, Jo Daviess County,was offered in Daviess’ honor.APPLE RIVERLocated on his<strong>to</strong>ric Stagecoach Trail, once an actualstagecoach route between Chicago and <strong>Galena</strong>, AppleRiver was established by the Illinois Central Railroad in 1854.The village is surrounded by thriving dairy farms and fieldsplanted with soy beans and corn reflecting the atmosphereand charm of rural Illinois. The village is located six milesnorth of the 297-acre Apple River Canyon State Park, whichfeatures fishing, camping, picnicking, hiking, the Millvillehis<strong>to</strong>ric site and a deep canyon that was preserved when the26 | <strong>Galena</strong>/Jo Daviess County Visi<strong>to</strong>rs Guide www.galena.org

The property is home <strong>to</strong> a charming,res<strong>to</strong>red 1860s church that seats 200 and a res<strong>to</strong>red one-room schoolhouse that was built in the 1850s.Southeast of Apple River is a thriving resort community surrounding the 480-acre Apple Canyon Lake,with the county’s only waterfront restaurant and a challenging nine-hole public golf course.eaSt duBuQueEast Dubuque clings <strong>to</strong> the Mississippi bluffs andspreads along its flats. In 1943, the Julien DubuqueBridge, named for one of the community’s firstsettlers, was built across the river <strong>to</strong> Dubuque,Iowa. At 7,392 feet in length, it remains one ofthe longest tied-arch and cantilevered spans everbuilt. The city sports public marinas, restaurants,lodging, a seasonal farmers’ market, lively pubsleft over from Prohibition and the 45-hole LacomaGolf Course. The seasonal Dunleith Park Districtand Pool features picnic tables, grills, restrooms,a playground and a swimming pool. Some of EastDubuque’s first permanent settlers are laid <strong>to</strong> restin the Frentress Family Cemetery.

Now, the village ofElizabeth prospers as an active agriculturalcenter. Its Washing<strong>to</strong>n Street is lined with sixlead miners’ cottages, homes that pre-datethe Civil War. Despite the addition of porchesand other rooms, each structure retains itsoriginal box-like core on a s<strong>to</strong>ne foundation.The 1894 Commercial Hotel on Myrtle Streetserved as the dinner s<strong>to</strong>p for the ChicagoGreat Western Railway’s overnight trainbetween Chicago and Minneapolis duringthe 1920s. The village is also the site of thereconstructed Apple River Fort, the only fortin the county attacked during the 1832 BlackHawk War. One theory holds that the villagewas named after Elizabeth Armstrong, awoman who helped rally the men duringthe attack on the Apple River Fort. Today,visi<strong>to</strong>rs will find a his<strong>to</strong>ric down<strong>to</strong>wn offeringantiques and collectibles shops and a 1800s railroad depot/his<strong>to</strong>ry museum.
