Washington County, Mississippi

Washington County lies deep in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. Greenville is the county seat and sits right on the mighty Mississippi River.
It’s flat here. The soil’s rich, and farming is still king. Cotton fields stretch far, broken up by the occasional stand of trees or sleepy town.
Blues music runs deep in these parts. You can still catch live shows in smoky juke joints on weekends. Catfish ponds are all across the landscape too.
