Our Community
Muscatine is rich in history, activities, amenities, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit, as well as natural beauty. From our perfect position on the Mississippi River, to our bluffs and park and recreational facilities, you have plenty of options to choose. We are where industrial strength has a sustainable mindset and a creative soul. From sunrise to sunset, now is a great time to #MakeItMuscatine
"And I remember Muscatine - still more pleasantly - for its summer sunsets. I have never seen any, on either side of the ocean, that equaled them."
—Mark Twain
