Mississippi's culture and heritage is richer than the soil of the Mississippi Delta. You can see it in the state's museums, historical homes, Civil War sites and landmarks. You can also see it reflected in the impact of the Mississippi River, in the unfolding of the Civil Rights Movement and in Mississippi's contributions to literature and fine arts.
The Delta in Mississippi is where more than 100 blues singers and musicians such as Howlin' Wolf, Son House, Charlie Patton, Ma Rainey and Muddy Waters got their start, inspiring the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and Eric Clapton. The blues traveler can learn about Mississippi music at the blues museums in Clarksdale, Greenwood, Leland, and the Dockery Plantation in Cleveland.
In Meridian of the Pines Region find the home of the "Father of Country Music", Jimmie Rodgers, whose career is celebrated at the museum bearing his name. Visit the town of Tupelo in the Hills Region where you will find the house where Elvis Presley lived as a boy, then stop at the museum right next door to see local Elvis memorabilia. Graceland and Memphis are less than two hours away. Whatever your taste may be, Mississippi music has the sound you're looking for.
Use the Mississippi outdoors guide to find a wide variety of Mississippi recreation opportunities. Our many lakes, rivers, streams, reservoirs and over 100 miles of coastline allow plenty of opportunity to spend time fishing, swimming, boating, sailing, canoeing or water-skiing.
