Leland, MS - Birthplace of the Frog

I was doing a bit of route planning today, and between Google Maps and Roadside America, I found a fantastic place to visit on our trip between Clarksdale and Natchez in Mississippi. Leland, MS, is known locally as the Birthplace of the Frog. In other words, it's where Jim Henson is rumoured to have been inspired to create Kermit! Another claim to fame for this small town is that the 'escape from the train' scene at the beginning of 'O Brother, Where Art Thou' was filmed here!

Another one for the list of things to do and see...
