After thoroughly reviewing Clarksdale, the tour heads toward Mississippi Delta Blues sites like Muddy Waters’s home site, where the King of the Chicago Blues resided on the historic Stovall Plantation for 30 years. While traversing our version of the outback, Chilly Billy will discuss the evolution and state of agriculture in the MS Delta—past and present.
Then the Mississippi Delta driving tour heads to Friars Point, a MS River town loaded with Blues and Civil War history, ending with a visit to the Mississippi River and a short ride on the MS River levee, where the once Port of Friars Point used to be, near the site of the now underwater Delta, Mississippi and Montezuma Island. A close encounter of the mighty waterway on a Mississippi River Tour always leaves the guests astounded.
