The site of Quincy was originally the home of pioneering Fox, Kikapoo and Sauk
American Indian tribes. The respected presence and history of the individuals
within these tribes are preserved and open to public viewing at the Indian Mounds
Park. Incorporated as a city in 1825, Quincy experienced rapid growth in the
1870s when a railroad bridge was built across the Mississippi River, connecting
the city to such cities as Omaha, Nebraska, and Kansas City, Missouri. Quincy
is recognized for its large number of cultural museums including historic Dr.
Richard Eell’s House, The Quincy Museum and Villa Katherine. The museums reflecting
the city’s artistic community are the Gardner Museum of Architecture and Design,
The Lincoln Douglas Valentine Museum, the Mississippi Valley Historic Antique
Car Museum and The Quincy Art Museum. Outdoor recreational opportunities are
available on the beach of Quinsippi Island.
