Long
ago, farmers scattered across the Delta would congregate on Cotton
Row in downtown Cleveland
to bring their finest harvest to market.
Today this Historic Crosstie Shopping District offers a diverse
array of specialty shops, antique stores and cafes within the
Crosstie District. The recent addition of a walking trail offers
picturesque and comfortable seating areas. Visitor information
is available at the Cotton Row Bookstore.
The
original architecture remains intact, as does the hospitality
and casual pace long associated with the Delta.
Outside the city limits of Cleveland in the neighboring communities
of Merigold and Mound
Bayou you’ll find McCarty
Pottery and Peter’s Pottery. These local artisans create
their famed pottery out of Mississippi mud.
