Muscatine County Habitat for Humanity is excited to introduce a new twist on its annual Holiday Season fundraiser. Guests are invited to explore historic churches beautifully decorated for Advent and Christmas.
The Christmas Tour of Churches will take place Sunday, December 7, from 2 to 4 p.m., offering an unforgettable afternoon of holiday beauty, history, and community spirit.
“This year’s tour celebrates Habitat for Humanity’s Christian roots,” said Don Lampe, director of Muscatine County Habitat for Humanity. “Muscatine is home to many remarkable and historic churches. This event gives the public a chance to see their beautiful sanctuaries, stained-glass windows, pipe organs, and other unique features—all while supporting a great cause.”
Participants can begin the tour at any of the six churches and visit the others in any order. At each stop, guides will share stories, traditions, and historical details that highlight the church’s role in Muscatine’s heritage.
Participating Churches:
- Grace Lutheran Church – 2107 Cedar St.
- Trinity Episcopal Church – 211 Walnut St.
- Zion Lutheran Church – 512 Sycamore St.
- Wesley United Methodist Church – 400 Iowa Ave.
