Tucked between two river bluffs, Muscatine sits on the banks of the Mississippi River about 30 miles west of Davenport and the Quad Cities area.
Nicknamed 'the Pearl of the Mississippi', Muscatine has a charming business district dating back to the 19th century. The 'postcard' scenery includes red brick warehouses, Victorian mansions and a trolley.
Major points of interest include Mark Twain Overlook, Muscatine Mall, the river and docks, Muscatine Art Center and the Pearl Button Museum.
All hotels and motels in Muscatine are located along Highway 61 that runs about 3 miles north of downtown and the river.
