Leland

Leland combines small-town calm with a lasting place in American popular culture in a way that reflects its setting in the Mississippi Delta. The town stands on Deer Creek in Washington County, amid the flat agricultural lowlands of western Mississippi. Leland is closely linked to puppeteer Jim Henson, who spent part of his childhood here; the community marks that connection through the Birthplace of Kermit the Frog Museum. Its position near U.S. Route 61 also places it within the wider geography of the Delta blues, a musical tradition rooted in this region.
