Clarksdale

One of the largest cities in the delta region, Clarksdale, Mississippi grew out of the Indian wilderness to become the county seat for Coahoma County. As rich in history and culture as the dark delta soil surrounding it, Clarksdale, Mississippi lies at the heart of Delta Blues country. Visitors can expect to see influences of what is known as America's only original music, all over town. The Delta Blues Museum, Cat Head Delta Blues & Folk Art, Clarksdale Train Station, Ground Zero Blues Club, and Shack Up Inn, are just some of the attractions to be experienced in this bustling delta town.
