I invite you to share your experiences with us about your work with Muscatine buttons. It all may seem mundane and maybe even uninteresting to you....but it is fascinating to those of us who weren't there.

We want to know all the nitty gritty details...the good, the bad, the happy, the sad....it's all a part of our city's rich history and you'll make us all richer by sharing.

Oh, and don't forget to add a photo. If you have lots of photos and want to share them all, contact me here and we can make arrangements.

Thanks!
