Reviews
"Incredibly cool place, I loved seeing the history. I liked the audio with the interpretive sign. There is so much more opportunity for interpretation that I would love to see the story of the place and the people told more. Definitely worth a quick stop, and I read if you plan in advance you can get a guided tour, which I’m sure would be beneficial."
"Great stop. I love the music they have playing, lots of history. Lots of great old buildings. You can walk in the one they have open for performances, and the boards don’t squeak they’re so big and thick. We would never even cut them the size now. Found the guestbook in the donation box. This is a really neat place. Thank you for hosting a geocache here."
"Peaceful, historic, with a heavy feeling your in Blues Country. Was a thrill to visit and walk the area on the Highway 61 Blues Trail"
"This is part of the blues trail and where the blues started according to BB King. King of the Delta Blues legend Charlie Patton started. Don't forget Robert Johnson played here. If you drive across the highway. There is a dirt road. Go down to where 2 roads meet is the actual crossroads is where legend has it Robert Johnson sold his soul according to much older locals."
"Words don't do it justice. Just come and visit. You can feel something in the air. Pressing the button in the back that plays blues music through the speakers located on the property and then standing in front of the property is truly a haunting, beautiful experience. I have goose bumps thinking about it."
