The first closest person will drop everything. A boat taking somebody off to the hospital is a big deal. |
This is a big day for West Point and we hope that everyone will come out for the dedication of the Howlin' Wolf Museum, ... The legacy of Howlin' Wolf is a major part of the history of Clay County. The opening of the museum will ensure that this legacy lives on for future generations to discover. |
We have some items in the museum that were donated directly by Wolf's family, ... Even though he moved to Chicago, he still returned to Clay County to hunt and fish. We have Wolf's personal hunting rifle on display, as well as unpublished photographs and even Wolf's passport from when he toured Europe and the UK. Basically, we have the museum structured to tell Wolf's story -- from his beginnings in White Station until his death in 1976. It's a tribute to his life. |
We're serious about our musical heritage here, ... Not every small town can claim the likes of someone like Howlin' Wolf. |
