Immerse yourself in the history and culture Blues…discover the heart of the Mississippi Delta with this three-day adventure.

You’ll feel like a local after a tour of the Mississippi Delta with Billy Howell from The Delta Bohemian. Billy takes guests on driving tours where he talks about the geography, culture and socioeconomics of the Delta in a way that is thought provoking as well as entertaining. He tells anecdotal stories with a lot of threads of history that reveal why the blues developed here and why the Delta is great grist for writing. His tours last three hours and cover every restaurant, blues club and cultural site to visit in the area.

Continue your exploration at the Clarksdale Blues Museum, the world's first museum devoted to blues and housed in the historic Clarksdale freight depot, built in 1918, which is directly across the street from Morgan Freeman’s blues club, Ground Zero.

Turn in for the night at the Shack Up Inn in Clarksdale, MS, one of the most unique places to stay in the South and a top recommendation by the New York Times travel writers. You will rest easy in an authentic, rough wood-sided, tin-roofed sharecropper shotgun house, which has been renovated to add electricity, plumbing, heat and air conditioning.

Rise early to paddle on the mighty Mississippi River. Enjoy an overnight adventure with the man himself, John Ruskey, owner of Quapaw Canoe, where you’ll paddle with the tugboats and camp with the coyotes. Experience the beauty of the Mississippi River and its wildlife while picnicking and camping on remote mid-channel river islands. THIS IS A MUST DO FOR ALL FAMILIES, CHURCH GROUPS, BOY SCOUTS AND GIRL’S WEEKENDS.

Enjoy finger-lickin’ barbeque for 2 at Abe’s BBQ, a Clarksdale staple located at the crossroads of U.S. 49 & 61 where legend has it that the Delta blues king, Robert Johnson, sold his soul to the devil and the blues was born.

Every adventure needs a souvenir- Bring the Delta home with the Pick of the Crop Cookbook, which is likely one of the most coveted, out-of-print Mississippi books offering the finest SO DELTA recipes

Trip for 2. Reservations and accommodations for additional guest can easily be made and Extra Table can help with that you will just cover those costs.
