The Hopson Plantation just outside Clarksdale, Mississippi was the first plantation to completely mechanize cotton production. Once the home of delta blues legend Joe “Pinetop” Perkins, today it sits in a state of arrested decay. Music can still be found in the commissary on certain nights, and the rooms are up for rent. Definitely a cool stop along the Blues Trail.


Make sure you go to the Hopson Homecoming in Oct after King Biscuit in Helena 🙂
Sounds great and I wish I could, but I only get down there when work sends me. Twice more this year though, so I have that to look forward to. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
