Location & Delta Setting
The town of Alligator, Mississippi, sits along historic U.S. Highway 61 in the heart of the Mississippi Delta—an area rich with farmland, wide-open landscapes, and deep musical roots. A small lake—known locally as Alligator Lake—runs beside the town, adding to its peaceful setting.
The road that runs beside the home and through the center of Alligator is part of the Mississippi Blues Trail, which recognizes significant sites tied to the heritage of blues music. Alligator proudly features a Blues Trail marker titled ''Alligator Blues,'' celebrating its place in Delta music history.
The town is also home to markers honoring legendary bluesmen Robert ''Bilbo'' Walker and Johnny Dummer, making this location especially appealing for music fans wanting to immerse themselves in authentic Delta culture.
One former mayor famously said the lake is shaped ''like a big green 'gator,'' a fitting nod to the charm and unique character of this small Delta town.
