Visited in October 2019 (from Australia) - a wonderful museum and experience ... here's to another 40 years!

Anyone who likes music should visit Clarksdale. Tons of good music and good food too. Another great music city, Memphis, is not too far away either.

So happy for the 40th! It’s a cool place. I’ve been several times. Every blues fan should visit.

Thanks to All y'all!

Fantastisk plats. Love from Sweden.

A helluva story.  Inspiring.  Too cool for words.  I love it!

For what it's worth,  I got John's autograph at the Union Bar in Mpls back in the early 1980s. He signed his name without the H.... Jon Lee Hooker.

Nice job Coop!

Named my blue eyed hound dog muddy. He was born on his birthday

Very interesting place!   Am wondering if any Elvis "artifacts" are in the museum.   The King of Rock & Roll loved the blues and was so influenced by the music.

More Music!  Less Meds!

Large chunks of the Museum's true history are missing from this. The blunt dismissal and departure of Sid Graves to Hattiesburg after being forced out of his position by the Library Board of Directors under Mary Stovall (re:Jackson Clarion Ledger), the relocation to the Museum's Delta Avenue location under Library Director Ron Gorsegner, the failure to mention the contribution of Ms. Fontaine Wells, who brought the museum's displays up to a professional level for the first time and was then dismissed. The resistance of the local Coahoma County officials to ANYTHING that elevated recognition of African American culture persisted until the mid 2000's. 2023 statistics note that Clarksdale's population is over 80% African American and has a 40% poverty rate. A 2021 study by a committee of HBCU economists found that 94% of revenue from tourism in Clarksdale resides with white-owned interests. The Blues is still alive...in fact, the blues never really died.
