EP 279. Mississippi Wildlife Heritage Museum a Collection of Old School Stories

In the sleepy Mississippi Delta hamlet of Leland, walking through the front door and onto the creaking, century-old hardwood floors of the Mississippi Wildlife Heritage Museum is like stepping back into time, into the good ol' days: towering walls covered with ginormous fireplace-blackened deer heads, fishes, game animals big and small indigenous to the Great State of Mississippi; extensive displays of hunting gear, local duck and turkey calls, boats and outboards, clothing from back in Grandad's day, and beyond. Photos. Lots of photos. "The culture that created all of those old Delta deer camps is mostly gone," says Billy Johnson, explaining that museums mostly tell stories. Oftentimes pointing around the room, he then tells some of them in colorful detail. Mostly about people. Born-and-raised nearby myself, I'd not heard most of them before and made a mental note to soon return for second helpings.
