HAGERTY, Duane P.
HAGERTY, Duane P. (Dubuque, IA, June 5, 1966--Dubuque, IA, Dec. 28, 2024) Duane was born to Patrick and Judith (Kronlage) Hagerty. He was raised on his family’s farm near Bankston, IA. Duane first attended Farley-Bankston Catholic School before continuing his education at Western Dubuque High School, where he graduated with the Class of 1984.
Duane continued his education at the University of Northern Iowa, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, magna cum laude, in 1988. He then attended the University of Minnesota Law School, where he earned his Juris Doctor, cum laude, in 1991. Afterward, he practiced real estate law in Des Moines and Chicago.
In 2010, Duane chose to follow his passion for history and architecture and changed his career focus to historic property redevelopment. He earned a Master of Science in Historic Preservation from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Following his graduation, he worked in the field of historic preservation as both a consultant and, since 2015, as the President and CEO of Heritage Works, a nonprofit preservation organization based in Dubuque. His dedication to historic preservation and education had a profound impact, benefiting not just Dubuque but the entire Tri-State area. Duane made a lasting impact for buildings he helped save, such as STEEPLE SQUARE, and by inspiring others to protect and save historic structures.
