This monument  near the Fort Madison riverfront was erected by the D.A.R. in 1908 and denotes the actual site of Blockhouse #1 of the original Fort Madison.

Construction on U.S. Lock and Dam #19 and the Keokuk Power House began in 1910 and was completed in 1913. When the power house first started generating electricity, it was the largest hydro-power plant in the world. Lock and Dam #19 is on the National Register of Historic places and can be viewed from the Observation Deck of the old railroad bridge.

With the completion of the new bridge, the Keokuk side of the old bridge was transformed into an observation deck. The deck provides a wonderful view of the Mississippi River, Lock & Dam No. 19, the George M. Verity Museum, and Victory Park as well as Bald Eagles in the winter.

The Keokuk National Cemetery is one of fourteen national cemeteries to be authorized by the U.S. Congress in 1862. The cemetery is currently the final resting place for the remains of over 4,000 American soldiers. The Keokuk Veterans' Memorial was dedicated on July 4, 2005 as a tribute to the men and and women who served with honor in the United States Armed Forces. This beautiful monument sets at the entrance of Oakland Cemetery.

This statue of Chief Kiyo' kaga, (one who moves about alert,) an influential Sauk Chief during the early decades of the 19th century, later known as Chief Keokuk stands on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River in Rand Park in the city named after him.
