Tunica County, Mississippi
The Mississippi Delta stretches out, flat and fertile, and right there on its northwestern edge sits Tunica County. It borders Arkansas, situated to the west.
Once known as the “Vegas of the South,” Tunica’s casino resorts draw visitors looking for a good time and a lucky break. But there’s history here too.
The county’s been around since 1836, carved out from Indian lands ceded to the U.S. government. Blues runs deep in these parts. You can feel it in the air, hear it in local juke joints.
