	[[Image:dubuque.jpg\|left\|thumb\|250px\|Photo courtesy: National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium]]The physical appearance of Julien Dubuque has continued to intrigue historians. In 2012, members of the [[DUBUQUE COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY]] and curators at the National Mississippi River Museum asked forensic artist Karen T. Taylor to create a facial reconstruction based on the skull of Julien Dubuque. In the late 1800s, excellent photographs were made of Dubuque's skull prior to reburial. Although Dubuque's actual skull now lies buried under many feet of concrete, Taylor was able to use the multiple 1887 photographs, along with historic and anthropological inputs to create a reasonable depiction of his appearance in life. The facial reconstruction images are on display the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium.

A large cedar cross carried the inscription, "Julien Dubuque, miner of the Mines of Spain, died March 24, 1810, aged forty-five years and six months." This date, however, conflicts with the baptismal register in Canada which dates his birth as January 10, 1762 instead of September 24, 1764 as the inscription would indicate. (24)
