Full of history, unique shopping, river excursions, fun special events, and unbelievable flavors, LeClaire was recognized as having one of the best Main Streets in Iowa!

LeClaire is the birthplace of “Buffalo Bill” Cody, one of America’s most recognizable figures from the Old West. Explore the museum in his name to get a better understanding of the culture and history of LeClaire.

Downtown LeClaire is easily accessible to visitors and locals alike and offers delicious bites, river view patios, fine and ethnic dining experiences, and tons of local businesses. If you’re looking to find the best quality of life in the U.S., you can add LeClaire to that list.

It’s been recognized as one of “America’s Coolest Small Towns” by BudgetTravel.com and is extremely popular when it comes to visitors trying to get the true authentic feel of what Iowa’s all about.

LeClaire is known for its fun events: live music, wine and craft beer fairs (a local favorite known as Libations Lane has three amazing options to find locally crafted wine, spirits, and beer), comedy shows, seasonal car shows, riverboat cruises, and of course, Tugfest! Don’t miss out on stopping by Wide River Winery or the Mississippi River Distilling Company before you hit your Twilight River Cruise.

Keep the outdoor vibes going by enjoying some fresh air at the LeClaire Levee. There’s a boat launch, access to the river, awesome picnic areas, and historical sites like the Scott County Freedom Rock and Veterans Memorial to check out, too.
After a full day of exploring, we definitely recommend heading to What BBQ. They specialize in brisket, pulled meats, cajun food, and more.
