Greenwood Tallahatchie Flats Greenwood has a rich cultural heritage born in fields of cotton that once stretched as far as the eye could see. A land noted for warm hospitality and diverse history. A place where a meal can last for hours and the sounds of blues guitars echo all night long. Greenwood even charmed Hollywood and became the setting for the majority of scenes filmed in the Oscar-winning movie, ‘The Help.’ Fans can take the self-guided driving tour and see the locations used in the film. The epicentre of the Civil Rights Movement, Greenwood has several milestone locations integral to the crusade such as Money Road where the brutal murder of teenager Emmett Till shocked the nation in 1955. The Museum of the Mississippi Delta, founded in 1969, is at the crossroads of Delta history and art. The extensive collection includes artefacts related to agriculture, Native America, regional military history and one of the Delta’s most extensive collections of regional art.
