The “pearl of the Mississippi,”

Muscatine represents a gem along the riverbanks. It’s rich in history – the Mississippi River put the community on the map when immigrant-entrepreneurs started manufacturing pearl buttons – as well as small-town charm and picturesque views. Innovation lives on in Muscatine through its global companies, which offer the workforce high-quality experiences paired with a short commute.
