Delta Cultural Center

The Delta Cultural Center is a museum complex spread across three historic buildings that present information about Mississippi River history, regional agriculture, and Native American cultures. One of these buildings is a 1915 train depot that now houses exhibitions about the Civil War.

The center was established in 1990 and incorporated historic buildings to document the region's past. The train depot and a house from 1859 are linked to significant Civil War events that took place here.

The center celebrates Delta music traditions through exhibitions that connect directly with local radio broadcasts and regional festivals. These connections show how the artistic heritage of the area remains alive in the community today.

The center works with local institutions and provides research materials about the region's history and social changes. Visitors can explore educational resources on-site about how the Delta has evolved over time.

A house built in 1859 displays Greek Revival architecture and was the site of intense fighting during the Civil War. This blend of architectural style and battlefield history makes the building particularly noteworthy.
