General presentation
Mississippi Delta
Blues' cradle, cotton fields and small towns along the great river.
To understand what Mississippi Delta is, you have to look at B. B. King Museum, Delta Blues Museum and Dockery Plantation. These places give us a landscape marked by the countryside, riverscapes and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
