Bellevue
is located in Jackson County in east-central Iowa. As of the 2000 census, the population was 2,350 residents. The city of Bellevue lies along the Mississippi River next to Bellevue State Park. Bellevue is home to several attractions, including Potters Mill, a restaurant and bed and breakfast that was formerly a flour mill built in 1845. Potters Mill is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Several other historic buildings are found in Bellevue, along with the Young Museum, which is a century-old residence that contains ten rooms completely furnished with turn-of-the-century antiques. Bellevue also offers a wide variety of recreational activities, including swimming, boating, fishing, water skiing, golf, tennis, and horseback riding. Nature is enjoyed through hiking trails, viewing historic Indian mounds, relaxing at picnic areas, visiting Bellevue State Park and watching eagles soar at the lock and dam. Biking along the river is another popular outdoor activity in Bellevue. Nearby Bellevue State Park offers scenic views of the Mississippi River along with 547 acres of timbered walking trails, a unique butterfly sanctuary and an enclosed nature center. The park has two separate tracts - the Nelson Unit and the Dyas Unit. Bellevue is also host to the annual Bellevue Heritage Days Celebration, a spectacular Fourth of July celebration. The activities are spread over two days and include carnival rides, an outdoor street dance, lots of good food, fireworks and the Heritage Days Queen Contest.
