About Bentonia

Bentonia is a quiet, close-knit town in Yazoo County with a rich musical heritage and a relaxed rural pace. Life here centers on wide-open country and friendly neighbors, with deep ties to the Mississippi blues. It is home to the famous Blue Front Cafe, the state's oldest operating juke joint, which still hosts live music and a popular blues festival each June. Families are served by the Yazoo County School District, and with Highway 49 running right through town, residents enjoy peaceful small-town living within an easy drive of Jackson.
