Delta Blues Museum
Founded in 1979, the Delta Blues Museum is the oldest music museum in Mississippi. It sits at #1 Blues Alley Lane, in the freight depot the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad put up in 1918 — a building that once moved cotton and now moves visitors.
The collection holds the cabin from Stovall Farms where Muddy Waters lived and was first recorded in 1941, and « Muddywood », the guitar Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top had built from one of its beams. B.B. King's Lucille has passed through. The museum received the National Medal for Museum and Library Service in 2013.
Its education programme matters as much as its cases: local children learn instruments here, and some of them — Anthony « Big A » Sherrod among them — end up on the stages down the street.
