Clarksdale, Mississippi

A place worth knowing

Make room for Clarksdale.

Let Clarksdale’s blues history lead to time with its living creative community. Pair a museum with a slower downtown interval, then check the current music calendar if an evening fits. Exhibitions and performances are independent experiences with different admission and age policies.

A few good ways to begin.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.

Delta Blues Museum

Spend time with the museum’s interpretation of blues history and musicians. Confirm current admission, exhibitions and holiday opening before making a dedicated visit.
