If you have a love for tasty, fried catfish, you can't not come here! Belzoni is a small, low-key town, yet it is home to a lot of interesting things!Belzoni is also known as the catfish capitol in Mississippi, home to the The Catfish and Visitors Museum where you will find the largest catfish ever caught, measuring 40 ft!! You will also find the Ethel Wright Stitchery Museum--also known as Grandma Moses; at this museum, you will find intricate stitches made by Grandma Moses. These stitches are not just ordinary, but they are extraordinary with each one of them telling a story of her family's life.
If you enjoy plants and flowers, or any type of outdoor activites, you might want to go see the largest cypress measuring 46 ft in circumfrence at Skylake! You might even get a chance to see some of the wildlife roaming around such as mallard ducks, white tailed deer, and alligator(but let's not hope you see that!!)
Another great place to see if you're interested in plants & gardening is Wister Gardens, also known as the Delta's Garden. This garden is the prettiest garden in the state, voted Mississippi's "Best Garden" in July 2008!
If you're with family, bring your little one's over to the Jaketown Site Museum. After this trip, they might decide to be an archeologist one day! =]
Now that we have went over some of the must-see places in Belzoni, now it's time for the best part...
CATFISH!
You may try Catfish One, or if you come at the right time you can catch the Catfish Festival---where Belzoni even hosts a catfish eating contest! Talk about all you can eat catfish! How good can it get!!
While you may not be in the mood for catfish, or seafood in general, there are also other restaurants that will be sure to satisfy your cravings!
You can try 107 Restaurant--in the heart of the Delta. People come a long way to eat here, and one of their favorites is the fried catfish and the fried green tomatoes! I'm making myself hungry writing about this place! There is a wide variety of things, not only seafood but also burgers! It's sure to fit in the category of any of your favorite foods!
Tuck's Place is another restaurant with a little bit of everything!
Like me, I am always in the mood for a little BBQ-- you too?? Stop by at Little Whimp's Bar-B-Q house! You can find pulled pork sandwiches, and some amazing ribs too! It's located on Martin Luther King Rd., so it's sure to be good!
