birthplace of kermit the frog

A couple weeks ago, I visited the Jim Henson museum in Leland, Miss, a small town in the Delta. Henson spent the first 12 years of his life in Leland, where his friend Kermit inspired the famous frog. The museum was small but packed full with Muppet paraphernalia, including an original Kermit. And the docent was clearly a huge Jim Henson fan. She was listening to Rainbow Connection on loop the entire time I was there.
