About the Port
Greenville sits along the Mississippi River in the heart of the Delta, a region long shaped by cotton agriculture and rich musical tradition. Historic Cotton Row recalls the town's role as a commercial hub for the region's planters and merchants, while stately homes such as the Weatherbee House reflect the architectural character of an earlier era. Nearby, Mount Holly Plantation offers insight into the antebellum plantation life that defined much of the surrounding countryside.
The riverfront along Lake Ferguson, an oxbow lake formed by a shift in the Mississippi's course, provides a quiet vantage point for taking in the Delta landscape. Landmarks within the town are reachable on foot or by a short drive from the pier, making it easy to explore at a relaxed pace. Greenville's blues heritage and small-town rhythms offer a genuine sense of Delta life, unhurried and steeped in local memory.
