In November, 2009 IE spent some time in Mississippi visiting specific sites along the blues trail. One stop was in Tutwiler, another significant town in the life of WC Handy and blues history.
In February 2011, while in Florence, AL, IE and IA discovered they were minutes from the birthplace of WC Handy and had to make the stop. Admission: $2.00. With student ID: 50 cents. What a deal!
Some information about WC Handy:
The museum houses a collection of memorabilia, musical instruments, personal papers and original sheet music. Handy's famous trumpet and his personal piano are just a few of the items on display.
I also got there last month with my husband's family! We all enjoyed the visit and of course, the Florence, AL. We love Florence and we are planning to have our own house there soon... We started looking for a reputable agent of a Florence AL Real Estate.
