B.B. King Museum & Delta Interpretive Center - B.B. King grave — Attraction in Indianola

This was my 3rd time visiting this museum and I just realized that I did not do a review. This museum is absolutely wonderful and gets an A+ for design and friendless of employees. They also have one of the best gift shops with a wide selection of gifts and a place to sit and take photo with large photo of B.B. King. Before touring museum a short film is shown about his life. Then you start self guided tour. They have done a great job of sharing information about his life from young boy to his death. I love the short films thought out the museum because they are very informative. They also have an education center where they have programs all year long for children. Mr. King loved children and to be honest all people. After touring museum you can go outside and view his gravesite and sculpture etc. This museum is so nice that I don’t have an issue visiting for the 4th time. Plus, Indianola is filled with good old down home people!

We also went to church street where Mr. King first got his start. There is so much to see in the Delta because it’s the birth place of the blues and to me MS is the blurs capital!! So many of the best originated in MS.

I highly recommend this museum and going to Betty’s place if hungry. She feed B.B. King for 18 years.

We have always heard about B.B. King, but it was such a great visit to the museum dedicated to honoring the King of the Blues. Obviously, his music talents took the world by storm. People from all walks of life love his music. Upon entering the museum, there is a cafe to the left named after all of his guitars, Lucille. You can buy souvenirs, get a cup of coffee and chat with the staff. The first stop was to see a short video/film of B.B. himself. After that, we walked down the hall that had "everything" B.B. King. It's nice to know he didn't blow all of his earnings on useless stuff like cars, jewelry, etc. There were two cars and his tour bus on display. The Grammy Awards and other achievements are displayed. B.B. King was truly a big part of "The...

I don't even know where to begin! If you have not visited this historical museum, it should definitely be on your "things to do list". This museum is absolutely beautiful and full of such great history about BB King, the cotton gin where he worked, original artifacts, his original tour bus and cars he actually owned and drove. I visited from IL and it is worth every penny and moment of your time. My husband's family is from Indianola MS and I love listening to them tell the history of it. My sister in law is actually a tour guider at the museum. Although I didn't know Mr King personally, it was emotional just seeing and touching his actual grave site (he is buried at his museum). I think this is a trip all should come to see and...
