We’re on a mission to preserve, educate, and serve.
At Four Mounds, we build community through high-impact training and mentoring programs, and through the stewardship of our natural and historic site located high on the bluffs above the Mississippi River.




Four Mounds is dedicated to building community.
The 100-acre Four Mounds site is nestled along the bluffs of the Mississippi River in Dubuque’s Driftless North End. Here, at Iowa’s last remaining “gentleman’s farm,” our team has created a home base and living laboratory for the groundbreaking HEART job training and education program. The site also features an Inn and Conference Center, community trails and gardens, and a challenge ropes course.
Blazing Trails Through Collaboration
We are a product of strong partnerships. We achieve our vision of restoring place and restoring people with partners like Dubuque Community Schools, the City of Dubuque, and Northeast Iowa Community College.
Breathtaking views, Midwestern hospitality
