SUMMARY:"Crossroads" Exhibit in Greenwood
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of the Mississippi Delta in Greenwood will host Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition\, from May 14 through June 25. \nCrossroads is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution.
