| Rising from the banks of the
Mississippi River is Rosedale, a thriving port whose history, as
a center of society and trade, is still evident in its streets,
buildings and people.
This city was mentioned in Robert Johnson's “Travelin' Riverside Blues.” Levee camps nearby were a gathering place for musicians. The Bolivar County Courthouse, built in the center of town, has served both judicial and social functions. The courtroom was often converted into the town's ballroom. Just over the Mississippi River levee from Rosedale is Great River Road State Park, with acres of riverfront and a 75-foot high observation tower, offering some of the most spectacular views of the nation’s greatest river. Rosedale’s Grace Episcopal Church is the oldest Episcopal Church in Bolivar County. Visit the White Front Cafe for the best hot tamales in the Delta. |
