Fort Madison, the county seat of Lee County in southeastern Iowa, is one of the oldest cities in the state (founded in 1808), with a prime location along the Mississippi River. Famous for the "first railroad bridge over the Mississippi River" (now a National Historic Landmark), the city has been an important hub for rail and water transportation since the 19th century, and has a strong industrial base, with manufacturing, energy, and agriculture as the mainstays of the economy, as well as large institutions such as the state penitentiary. The well-preserved historic landscape attracts history buffs with its 19th-century-style business district, riverwalk, and the site of an old military barracks (Fort Madison), and the annual Old Fort Days festival showcases Midwestern heritage. As a key point on the Mississippi River Scenic Byway, Fort Madison's blend of natural beauty and industrial heritage makes it a unique destination for experiencing the history and vibrancy of Southeast Iowa.
