Muscatine Maid-Rite Have a Maid-Rite sandwich in the town in which it was invented. The first legendary loose-meat sandwich was created in 1926 by Muscatine butcher Fred Angell, who combined a special cut and grind of meat with selected spices. As the legend goes, Angell asked a delivery man to taste his “newest sandwich invention.” After a few bites the taster exclaimed, “You know, Fred, this sandwich is made right!” Some believe Fred chose the “Maid” spelling to represent the wholesomeness and pureness of the sandwich. The Muscatine Maid-Rite continues the tradition Fred Angell established in a 1950s-style family diner. 3414 North Port Drive, Muscatine 563-263-3244 • maid-rite.com

Norbert F. Beckey Bridge After enjoying the beautiful river views in the daylight, be sure to take a look at the Norbert F.

Downtown Muscatine Whether you live close enough to make a day trip or you’re sightseeing for the first time in the Midwest, downtown Muscatine, Iowa has plenty for you to experience. When you take in our downtown, take your time. See the Mighty Mississippi River right upstream from one of its biggest bends. Pose with the iconic Clammer statue, a nod to the town’s history. Come away from the river one block, and you’re in the heart of downtown Muscatine on Second Street. Between the offerings and the architecture, you’ll see that Muscatine has a blend of historic charm and new ideas. Feast on international flavors from Mexico, Italy or Vietnam or dine at a fun and casual dining spot. Peruse the goods at shops that offer unique local fare, home décor and apparel. Try baked goods or a cup of joe at
one of Muscatine’s warm and welcoming coffee shops. Step into the National Pearl Button Museum @ The History and Industry Center to learn the fascinating history when Muscatine was the Pearl Button Capital of the World . Don’t miss the displays of the industrial titans who have made Muscatine such an economic powerhouse.
