“What brought us here and made us what we are is

the Mighty Mississippi. We are the land of cotton and

the Delta Blues, where the stories are bigger than

catfish and as powerful as the waters of Ole Man River.

We have been shelled, invaded, burned, flooded and

plagued. And still we capture imaginations and treat

our visitors warmly like long-lost friends.

On the banks of this colossal river is Greenville, a

wellspring of music, literature, adventure, imagination,

history and plain old fun. Greenville has inspired

greatness from Native Americans to cotton barons,

Pulitzer-Prize winners, Civil Rights leaders, bluesmen,

poets and inventors.

We’re proud to share Greenville and Washington

County with all; discover for yourself that there’s more

than meets the eye in this land of rich customs and

folklore, creativity and physical beauty that make up

one of America’s most unique destinations.”
