GREENWOOD, Miss. — Visitors and local residents have a new way to explore Greenwood’s blues and civil-rights history through a digital program that turns historic sites around the city into an interactive tour.
The Greenwood Trailblazer Passport, promoted by the Greenwood Convention and Visitors Bureau, connects participants with 21 historical markers located throughout the community.
Participants can register digitally and then visit the markers in person.
At each location, visitors scan a QR code with their phone to record their stop. No separate mobile application is required.
The locations highlight people and events connected to Greenwood’s history, including the city’s blues heritage and civil-rights legacy.
Visitors who check in at 10 locations become eligible to receive a collectible keychain, according to Visit Greenwood.
The program combines tourism with historical education by encouraging visitors to move beyond a single museum or attraction and explore multiple parts of the city.
That approach can also generate traffic for nearby restaurants, shops and cultural attractions as visitors travel between historical sites.
Greenwood has a particularly rich collection of Delta history.
The city and surrounding Leflore County are connected to nationally significant stories involving blues music, agriculture and the civil-rights movement, making historical tourism an important part of the area’s visitor economy.
The Trailblazer Passport provides a modern way to connect those stories while allowing visitors to explore at their own pace.
The passport is available digitally through Visit Greenwood https://www.visitgreenwood.com/trailblazer-passport/?utm_source=chatgpt.com .
