Visit Cleveland Mississippi

Visit Cleveland Mississippi Where Music, History & Southern Hospitality Meet. It's easy to see why Cleveland has been named "one of the 100 best small towns in America."

This city and Bolivar County as a whole portrays the uniqueness of the Delta’s past, as well as the modernisms of the Delta culture today. Crosstie Historic District
Cleveland’s thriving Crosstie Historic District is a surreal experience that wedges itself between classic and modern. The roads are lined with period signage, and the downtown architecture is historic. But the offerings of Crosstie a

re anything but rustic. Follow its brick-paved sidewalks and you’ll soon discover everything from specialty dining to boutiques, antiques, salons and shops. Museums, Art, History and Blues

Museums such as the Martin & Sue King Railroad Heritage Museum preserve Cleveland’s history and culture. Also, GRAMMY Museum Mississippi, which opened early 2016, celebrates the best of American Music. The nearby Mississippi Dockery Plantation is the very site where it’s said the blues were born. Blues heritage peaks at Po Monkey's in Merigold, one of the last remaining cotton field juke joints. When you step out of the car here, you could be in any decade. You'll find historic sites in Mississippi such as Mound Bayou, the oldest town in America founded by former slaves, popular festivals such as, Octoberfest and Crosstie, and a thriving college right smack dab in the middle of it all, Delta State University, that provides the community with art, music, entertainment and that "college town" feel.

Take in the Mississippi River at Terrene Landing.

Located in Rosedale, Terrene Landing is one of the best spots in the Delta to slow down, take in the mighty Mississippi River, and enjoy the landscape that makes this region so special.

And while you’re there, add a little local music to your Delta road trip playlist. Cleveland-based musician Jeff McCreary just released Terrene Landing, a new song inspired by this special place along the river.

Visit the river. Discover the Delta. Turn up the music.

The Mississippi Blues Trail and delta food traditions come together.

In Rosedale, you can see the Mississippi Blues Trail’s “Hot Tamales and the Blues” marker, which highlights Robert Johnson’s 1936 song “They’re Red Hot” and its reference to tamales.

And the best part? You can try some for yourself. Stop by White Front Cafe, also known as Joe’s Hot Tamale Place, and grab a few of their famous handmade Delta tamales while you’re there.

Joe Pope started selling his tamales in the 1970s, and today his youngest sister, Barbara, continues the tradition. Come for the Blues history, stay for the red-hot tamales!
