The B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center, Indianola, Mississippi

houses artifacts from B.B. King’s 60-year career and interprets the Delta legacy of Mississippi. At the intersection of Second Street and Sunflower Avenue is a 2-acre lot that symbolizes Blues history in many ways. The lot is skirted by railroad tracks that once carried Bluesmen away from Indianola to seek their fortunes in Memphis or Chicago. It also brought Bluesmen into this small Delta town to play for the locals and, on occasion, even play at a legendary juke joint, now known as Club Ebony. Visitors will receive a bigger-than-life introduction to B.B King and other blues artists via a 180-degree theatre screen utilizing the very latest in projection and audio technology. www.bbkingmuseum.org/
