The tour concludes with site-visits of the places where Eddie “Guitar Slim” performed, the burial site of Robert Johnson at Little Zion MB Church Cemetery, just south of Money, MS. 
The tour proceeds with a stroll through the Baptist Town neighborhood, stopping at sites where Robert Johnson lived, and the back alleys of Walthall & Johnson Streets where Johnson jammed on Friday & Saturday nights.                      
Beginning at Hoover’s Grocery Store, the tour includes a guided discussion through the new “Back in the Day” Museum. Conceived by curator Mrs. Mary Ann Hoover, the museum features visual artifacts & images of a time in southern Black history when African Americans lived a rather simple life, most often without the modern conveniences of running water, in-house restrooms, electricity or televisions. With little means, we generally did well making what we wore and growing nearly all the things we ate.
