MUSCATINE, Iowa (KWQC) – If you fancy yourself the owner of a private island, you have the opportunity to do so, providing you are ok with the island being on the Mississippi River, near Muscatine, and you have a good chunk of change available to blow.
KWQC reports for $1.5-million, 129-acres of land on Towhead Island near downtown Muscatine is for sale. Located over a mile south of downtown Muscatine, Towhead Island has been privately owned by a family for three generations. But has been a source of recreation for the public for decades.

According to old newspaper articles in Muscatine, before ownership was transferred to a family, moonshiners used the island masquerading as fishermen.
If you are interested in purchasing the island, it is listed with a team at RE/MAX.
