About Burlington

Burlington, Iowa is the Mississippi bluff town that gave its name to the Burlington Northern railroad. The principal sight is Snake Alley — declared by Ripley's the crookedest street in the world, a brick-paved switchback dropping down the bluff in seven sharp turns. The Heritage Hill historic district, the Apple Trees Museum (a riverboat-era stone-lock-keeper's house) and the riverfront Port of Burlington centre are the supporting visits. Cruise vessels moor at the city wharf directly below Snake Alley.
