Mississippi John Hurt Memorial

The ruins of the Valley Store, County Road 41, Carrollton, Mississippi, are preserved in Google Maps, with a marker for Mississippi John Hurt close by. Here’s a clearer view. If you have the 2011 Discovery CD, you can see a photograph with Hurt standing outside the Valley Store.

See also the Mississippi John Hurt Museum, Hurt’s house in Avalon, Mississippi. The title of Hurt’s 1928 recording “Avalon Blues” was the clue that led to his renewed musical career in the 1960s.
