Uncle Henry's

First built in 1926 by the Elks Club of Clarksdale, this property was sold in 1933 to William Mhoon Wilkerson, who developed it into a popular tourist destination. At its height, the Moon Lake Club property included a restaurant, hotel-style rooms, a casino, and several rental cabins. Tennessee Williams referred to the club as the "Moon Lake Casino" in a number of his plays. Purchased in May of 1946 by Henry Trevino, the club was later renamed "Uncle Henry's" Place.
