Coahoma County, Mississippi
The Mississippi Delta has its share of hidden gems, and Coahoma County is one of them. You’ll find this slice of Delta life in the northwest corner of the state, bordering the mighty Mississippi River.
Blues fans, take note – this is where the legendary Muddy Waters grew up. So while here, grab a plate of hot tamales, a Delta staple, and settle in for some authentic blues at Ground Zero Blues Club.
Coahoma isn’t all music, though. It’s got grit. You’ll see lots of agriculture. The county’s rich soil once made it a cotton kingdom, but these days it’s all about preserving history and celebrating culture.
