Hotels in Muscatine

Along the mighty Mississippi, discover a riverside town where barges drift past historic buildings with the unhurried pace of local life. The Pearl Button Museum reveals Muscatine's unexpected claim to fame as the 'Pearl Button Capital of the World,' where freshwater mussel shells once fueled an industry. Riverside Park offers front-row seats to spectacular river sunsets, while the Muscatine Art Center showcases collections in a grand 1908 mansion. Pine Creek Grist Mill stands as a working testament to 19th-century ingenuity, its water wheel still turning after more than 150 years. Cool off at the Muscatine Aquatic Center in summer, or visit during the Great River Days festival when the waterfront celebrates all things Mississippi.
