Description
Mississippi’s state welcome sign proudly states that it is the “Birthplace of America’s Music”. The Magnolia State has a rich and influential musical heritage that has significantly shaped American music genres. The Mississippi Delta is widely recognized as the birthplace of blues music. Iconic blues musicians such as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and B.B. King all have roots in Mississippi. The state has also played a crucial role in the development of country music. Jimmie Rodgers, known as the “Father of Country Music,” was born in Meridian, Mississippi. The blues and country music traditions from Mississippi have heavily influenced rock and roll. Artists like Elvis Presley, who was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and began his music career just over the state line in Memphis, blended these genres to create something new and transformative. These contributions to the nation’s rich musical history make Mississippi a pivotal place in the landscape of American music.
Our Welcome to Mississippi, Birthplace of America’s Music sign is made to the exact state standards used since 2008. In addition to the slogan, it also includes the state outline, a couple of music notes, and the ornate rendering of the state’s name that’s been in use for about 30 years now. Every detail is just like those on the signs seen along Mississippi’s highways.
Our Welcome to Mississippi, Birthplace of America’s Music sign is printed on heavy duty steel right here in the United States. It has a glossy, non-reflective coating that makes it a perfect display piece, indoors or outdoors. Mounting holes are included to make installation easier. Because the original sign is so large, we’ve scaled it down to the following convenient sizes:
- 16 in. × 8 in.
- 24 in. × 12 in.
- 36 in. × 18 in.
- 48 in. × 24 in.
- 72 in. × 36 in. (this one’s so big it will be printed on two 36×36 panels for easier transportation!)
