Located within the
Horseshoe Casino Resort in
Tunica, MS, this free museum highlights the contributions of top blues artists from W.C. Handy to Bonnie Raitt. Memorabilia at the museum includes photographs, instruments, and personal items. You'll see the contract W.C. Handy signed after selling the rights to "St. Louis Blues," guitars & harmonicas belonging to - and signed by - legends like John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, & James Cotton, and much more.
Stand just inches from a favorite vest that belonged to Jimi Hendrix and learn everything there is know with an extensive tribute to W.C. Handy, the father of the Blues. Photographs offer a chronological look at Handy's life, while personal documents, letters, and other memorabilia allow you to experience the blues like never before. Best of all, the museum is free of admission!
