As the Birthplace of America’s Music,
Mississippi’s musical landscape is much like
the golf scene. Exciting and varied, it reflects
regional influences. Mississippi has been
instrumental in the birth, growth and popularity
of musical genres such as blues, country and,
of course, rock ’n’ roll, thanks to its most
famous musical son, Elvis Presley. These
musical styles are truly Mississippi-made and
reflected in the Mississippi Blues Trail and
Country Music Trail. The song lyrics tell our story,
while the beats, rhythms and melodies reflect
our diverse heritage.
Another exciting trail springing forth is the
Mississippi Writers Trail. The first marker was
unveiled September 2018 at Eudora Welty’s
house and garden in Jackson. Similar to the
music trails, the Writers Trail will be a
