The brick freight depot in Clarksdale that houses the Delta Blues Museum

The Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi, is about where the blues came from and how it changed music around the world. It is in the town's old freight depot. The collection holds blues memorabilia, instruments and artifacts.

The cabin where Muddy Waters grew up stands inside. The museum also shows guitars played by blues musicians, and exhibits on artists from B.B. King to players working today. Other exhibits cover the social and cultural conditions in the Mississippi Delta that gave rise to the blues.

Clarksdale is a 35-mile drive from Helena. The town also has juke joints, Ground Zero Blues Club, and the crossroads where, the story goes, Robert Johnson sold his soul.
