Crossroads in Clarksdale
Mississippi’s Delta Region is rightfully synonymous with the blues, birthing legends such as Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Robert Johnson and John Lee Hooker. Visitors to this region can wander the same streets as these mysterious souls and get a taste of the rich, succinct culture that has crept forth from the mouth of the Mississippi River. Clarksdale has retained memorabilia, music, and stories that teeter very close to mythology from the era that remains on a loop in the Blues Alley Historic District.

The charters and informational tours that snake along the bayou remain interesting tourism mainstays. Take a schooner or a shrimp boat for a real nostalgic Mississippi feel. And don’t forget to indulge in some down home Cajun food at a bayside restaurant.
