Tips
Tips
Places to stop along the way
We'll take you by most businesses downtown, and highly encourage you to pause the tour to check them out. If it looks open, pop in and say hello!
Best time of day
The tour is outdoors -- so noon in July might not be your best bet. Any time you feel like a comfortable stroll, come join us.
Precautions
We often stop at spots with benches and/or shade. Of course it's always a good idea to bring your own water.

A wonderful tool for taking a walking tour of Historic Downtown Clarksdale. Insightful, interesting and fun commentary of the people, places and events that make this Mississippi Delta town a "must see" and experience for visitors with an interest in the Blues, Tennessee Williams, civil rights, agricultural mechanization, American Indian and/or Civil War history.
