Reviews
"Perfect starting point for the Blues Trail. Informative, interactive and most of all very interesting. Best part however was April and Tina who were so generous with their time and mapped out where I should and shouldn't spend my time given my interests. 100% recommend."
"Stopped out of curiosity and left filled with memories. Took the tour of the Blues museum they have and was not disappointed. Informational and inspirational to say the least. The number of signed guitars they have on display was beyond what we could ever have imagine to see. An unexpected treat to be found on the Mississippi Delta."
"Definitely worth seeing. The building, the view, the small yet full of genuine guitars and artefacts exhibition, very nice store."
"Such a great historic blues museum. Very information and even has a booth where you can make your own song, so much fun ,"
