Unique Hotel in Mississippi Consists of Old Shacks
If you check into 'The Shack Up Inn', don’t expect a night of opulence. Hotel guests stay in 1 or 2 bedroom shacks, which are houses that once belonged to poor black farm workers. This distinctive hotel is in rural Mississippi, a southern U.S. state. But it's not listed in any phone book. The hotel has no advertising or marketing budget. Nor does it try to attract the kind of American guest who may be offended by the transformation of a piece of poor black history into a profitable business. VOA's Carolyn Presutti takes us on a tour of the Shack-Up Inn.
