If you are anywhere near Leland, Mississippi, you should do yourself a favor and stop in at the Birthplace of Kermit the Frog.
This is a simple little museum/exhibit, supported through donations and grant monies, and operated with a lot of love and affection towards a hometown boy made good.
We love the Muppets and we love the impact Jim Henson had (has) on children for generations.
Visiting takes about 15 minutes – or 30 if you stop and chat with the curators like we did. They are a wealth of information about Jim Henson’s early years so it’s worth the time to talk. We also hit up the gift shop for a few special things to remember our visit. Also a worthwhile thing to do because we want this special place to stay open for many years to come.
