Tucker's Tavern
Take a trip down memory lane with this photo collection. Tucker's Tavern was owned and operated by Albert and Leone Droullard and later, Walter and Maxine Droullard. It was located in the building now occupied by Hindu's Corner Bar, at the intersection of Main and Webster Street. Very few of the people in these photographs have been identified, so please share if you recognize someone!
According to the Dubuque Telegraph Herald's classifieds, it looks like Tucker's Tavern got a new back bar and stools in 1967, which could have been the reason for these photos.
Thank you to Steve Murphy for his help in sharing these photos.

In the 1955 photos, the dog's name was Hobo. My maternal grandfather, Arthur Droullard, Tucker's brother, tended bar and Hobo came home with him often. I was 7 years old in 1955, and spent summers in Cuba City from about 1954-1962.

Hi Bill, my grandfather was Walter and I grew up in CC, I was born in '55 and remember Uncle Art, he lived on Main St on the north edge of town. I lived on the same block but on the street behind Main St, Washington I think. My mother, Shirley Droullard, Walter & Maxine's daughter. Pamela (Hoag) Jahn.
DeleteI remember Shirley, and the house on Washington. Wasn't it originally owned by Art and Tucker's parents, Thomas and Alice? I have a photo of me as a small child with Great Grandma Alice Droullard.
