Tennessee Williams Rectory Museum

Tennessee Williams Rectory Museum

Tennessee Williams Rectory Museum

Young Tom "Tennessee" Williams lived in, and then regularly visited, Clarksdale between 1917 and 1931. His grandfather, the Reverend Walter E. Dakin, was rector of St. George's Episcopal Church during those years. The museum is housed on the second floor of the former St. George's rectory, and is open by appointment only. The museum is volunteer run. Please contact us at least 24 hours before you would like to visit.
