The Atlas/Mississippi/Delta Blues Museum

Delta Blues Museum

Mississippi's oldest music museum, housed in the 1918 Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad freight depot in downtown Clarksdale. Artifacts, memorabilia, and Muddy Waters' original sharecropper shack from Stovall Plantation fill the exhibits — ground zero for blues history on the Delta.

// Why riders stop

Sit at the epicenter of American blues on a ride up US-61; the depot parking is easy, the museum is compact and substantive, and Clarksdale's Ground Zero Blues Club is steps away for live music at lunch or dinner.

Doe's Eat Place
Mississippi
A James Beard Foundation 'America's Classic' (2007) that has operated out of the same ramshackle building on Nelson Street since 1941. Customers walk through the kitchen to reach their table; the tamales are Delta-style and the charcoal-seared porterhouses are legendary. Still family-run by the Signa family.
