Notes
Muscatine is the home of the National Pearl Button Museum. Maid-Rite restaurants have been making loose-meat sandwiches since 1926. The Wilton Candy Kitchen, founded in 1867, has been in the same building since 1922.
Muscatine, Oh Muscatine.
A name that is unique.
You'll truly find it nowhere else,
No matter where you seek.
In the city of that name,
They used to harvest mussels.
They made more buttons than anywhere else
'Tween Council Bluffs and Brussels.
Not far from the Mississippi,
There's a courthouse with a dome.
And somebody started Maid-Rite here,
A fact not widely known.
In Wilton, the Candy Kitchen there
Serves big banana splits.
At Wildcat Den, see Fat Man's Squeeze
When you're hiking through the cliffs.
