YOUR WAY
Tucked away in the curves of three rivers, just a few miles from where the Mississippi Delta gives way to the bluffs, Greenwood pulls natives and newcomers into a land of blues and cypress swamps, to-die-for food, luxuriant spas and one-of-a-kind shops. Whether you’re looking for a weekend at Mississippi’s most celebrated hotel, an easy stroll through a century of fine architecture or a trek down dusty roads along the Blues Trail, you’ve come to the right place.

Civil Rights
In the middle of the 20th Century, Greenwood and Leflore County witnessed a slow, but certain, shift in the winds of justice. Those with deep roots in the Delta joined their voices with those from far away and vowed that they would not be turned back. Their steps can be traced, even today, in and around Greenwood.
