Birthplace of the Frog: An Exhibit of Jim Henson's Delta Boyhood

The Jim Henson Exhibit is housed in the Washington County Tourist Center/Leland Chamber of Commerce in Leland, Mississippi.

The Exhibit was given by The Jim Henson Company as "a gift to the people of Leland." The Exhibit features a tableau honoring Kermit the Frog's birth on Deer Creek, photographs from the Henson Family Album, a video center with many of Jim Henson's early works and a gift shop. A separate room is filled with Muppet memorabilia. Pack a lunch and enjoy the park that surrounds the Exhibit -- beautiful Deer Creek -- the birthplace of Kermit the Frog.
