Stoneville, Mississippi

Stonveille is an unincorporated community northwest of Leland, Mississippi. The USDA research facility that employed Paul Henson, Jim Henson's father, was located in Stoneville. The address of the Henson family residence was also in Stoneville, but, because the community had no schools of its own, Jim Henson attended elementary school in nearby Leland.

On October 18, 2005, the United States Postal Service held a ceremony in Stoneville for the Jim Henson and the Muppets postage stamps that featured a "Birthplace of the Frog Station" pictorial cancel. The ceremony took place at the Capps Entrepreneurial Center in Stoneville, the former site of the USDA research facility.
