Museums: Delta Blues Museum
The Delta Blues Museum was established in 1979. This internationally acclaimed museum showcases the history and significance of the Blues in this region. It features a wax figure of Blues great Muddy Waters and the famous Muddywood Guitar, videotape and slide-and-sound programs, photographs, recordings, books, memorabilia, archives, and much more. Stovall Plantation was the original home of the Muddy Waters Cabin, which is now located in its new home at the renovated Freight Depot on Blues Alley.

LITERARY
Tennessee Williams
Clarksdale is the childhood home of America’s most performed playwright, Tom “Tennessee” Williams. Young Tom’s grandfather served as rector of St. George’s Episcopal Church and lived in the parsonage. The church and parsonage are still active today.
Take a walking tour of the nearby historic neighborhood that greatly influenced the characters and events that are well known in Williams’ plays and screen adaptations such as Summer and Smoke, and The Glass Menagerie.

The Birthplace of the Blues
Clarksdale

Many say Clarksdale, Mississippi is the very birthplace of the blues. It would be hard to argue against it. Site of countless blues festivals and home to famous blues musicians like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Big Jack Johnson, and Son House, the city will definitely teach you everything you need to know about the health of the blues in the Delta today.

Historic Blues District & Live Entertainment

Within the city, you’ll find the Delta Blues Museum, a literal blues shrine of artifacts and memorabilia; actor Morgan Freeman's Ground Zero Blues Club, where famous blues musicians sling lyrics on a juke joint stage almost every night of the week; and the iconic Crossroads of Hwy 61 & 49, the site where Robert Johnson allegedly sold his soul to the devil.


One-of-a Kind Lodging
At the 'Squeeze Box' Delta Style rules the day. Designed and decorated by local artists. The Squeeze Box features works by local painters, sculptors, and photographers.


When visitors travel to Mississippi to discover our state's blues musical heritage, they find the real, authentic experience here - especially in places like Clarksdale in the Mississippi Delta.


Another interesting site in the area is Hopson Plantation. The Hopson Planting Company was established in 1852 to grow cotton, the Delta's cash crop. The 4,000-acre property reached its
heyday in the 1940s when the company was first to grow and harvest a cotton crop produced completely by mechanical methods. No longer a functioning farm, the Hopson Plantation and Commissary stands today in much the same condition as it was more than fifty years ago.

After you've worked up an appetite discovering all of the Mississippi blues history and heritage in Clarksdale, you'll have plenty of places to dine. Right beside the sign marking the historic crossroads is another famous Clarksdale landmark: Abe's Bar-B-Q. Since 1924, barbeque lovers have flocked to Abe's to enjoy tender pulled pork sandwiches and splendid sides. Come hungry and order the 'Big Abe.' Chamoun's Rest Haven Restaurant is indeed a haven of multi-cultural dining in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. An extensive menu features American and Italian fare as well as some of the area's best Lebanese cuisine. Don't leave without sampling the stuffed grape leaves, stuffed cabbage and stuffed kibbie.

The Grammy Museum Mississippi is located a short 35-minute drive from our front door in Cleveland, Mississippi. Drive down in the mid-morning and enjoy a stroll around the museum; drop by Dockery Plantation for a quick see as you head back to Clarksdale by 3:30pm - 4:00pm for a rest. Then it's restaurants galore, live real deal Mississippi Delta music (365 days/year), bars and shopping all within a 5-minute walk from the Squeeze Box front door. No reason to drive.........leave your car parked out front of your guest suite and stroll from venue to venue and enjoy.

    If you like quirky, this place is for you! It looks like it's built totally from salvaged materials, and mean that in the best possible way. Lamps made from flutes, a dinette booth, accordians as wall decor. It has it all! Great art work too. You can park right out front and walk everywhere in Clarksdale. Go to the tourist bureau and ask for Bubba. He'll tell you all about his birthplace and his efforts to reinvigorate the town.

    Host was very responsive, room is right across the street from two venues and walking distance from others. This room is very unique in every way very quiet and street parking. We were there in the slow season and still have music every day.

    Coming for an iconic blues experience? This is definitely the place for you. It is conveniently across the street from Hambone. Stan Street (owner and proprietor) is extremely friendly, knowledgeable about the blues, and will give you a convenient list of all blues acts playing and where during your stay. If lucky, there may also be a jam going on there. We parked right in front the entire stay. We only left to hit a couple stores for necessities. We walked to everything else from the apartment, The pictures are accurate of the interior. You'll spend quite a while enjoying all the fabulous artwork.The L couch in the front room is not that comfortable to lay on, but is obviously perfect for buds to drop by to throw a couple back. For us older farts, I found removing the back pillows and bringing some in from the bedroom did the trick for late night TV viewing. This is a very old building, so your expectations need to match. There will be no granite top counters or top of the line kitchen appliances. You are in the Home of the Delta Blues, so you shouldn't be cooking anyhow, There are many walkable, inexpensive, great restaurants. Fridge is dorm sized with an extremely small, partially iced over freezer. Recommend a cooler for ice.The bed is firm but comfy. Shelves in BR served as a handy dresser.Great for a couple senior citizens and perfect for younger blues hounds wanting a full on blues experience.

    The Squeeze Box is creatively decorated with music paraphernalia and is very convenient for going out in Clarksdale. Unfortunately, when we entered the property, a musty smell hit us. Squeeze Box doesn’t have any windows that open so there is no way to air it out. There is a dehumidifier in the property but it kept filling up and stopping. The owner was supposed to come round and empty it but never did. In the end we figured out how to empty it ourselves, but it didn’t make much difference. I felt like I was permanently cold, even when it was 80 degrees out. Our towels also never really dried. There were a few other issues such as the Wi-Fi going out several times, some dust and cobwebs, and insufficient toilet rolls. The dampness was the main issue, though. It was a shame as other than that, we had a fantastic time in Clarksdale.

    Our stay at the Squeeze Box was great. We enjoyed all the music memorabilia and met the designer of the room. One thing I will mention for the ladies is to make sure you bring a good lighted makeup mirror. The owners were great when I called them to let them know we were arriving sooner than anticipated. The Hopeless Case bar was right across the street and was our favorite hangout!! If your looking for off the beaten path to listen to good blues music, this is the place to be!!

    Loved the decor and overall vibe. Bed was comfy. Being located in an old building, there was a moldy smell; nothing that took your breath away but something that could be bothersome if you have allergies. The smell gave the sense of dirty even though it was not. Overall, I would recommend staying here. We parked right out front and didn’t use the car again until we left. Really enjoyed walking around.
