The Delta Music Museum's mission is to collect, preserve, and exhibit, the musical heritage along the Mississippi River Delta Region beginning in Memphis, TN and traveling down the Mississippi River Delta through New Orleans, LA. The Delta Music Museum shall endeavor to educate the general public concerning the musical heritage of the Mississippi River Delta Region.
Our tour guides offer some interesting stories to go along with each exhibit related to our music celebrities. As an added feature, you can view partial performances of each celebrity on video. Learn how Conway Twitty almost became a baseball star; How Ferriday native cousins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley and Jimmy Swaggart played the game "Unconquered," and how Haney's Big House played an integral part on musical icons that came through this rural area. Haney's Big House hosted such icons as BB King, Fats Domino, Tina Turner, Moms Mabley, and many more.
Handicap entrance and parking is at the rear of our building. If you are in a chartered bus, you may want to park on the side of our building on the corner of Louisiana Avenue and Third Street. The handicap ramp makes it a lot easier for folks that cannot handle the steep steps on the front of our building.
The Delta Music Museum has a very active friends foundation to help facilitate enhancement of our current exhibits. Join our Friends of the Delta Music Museum Foundation by calling (318) 757 4297. The Delta Music Museum is operated by the State Of Louisiana, Office of the Secretary of State Museum Division. The museum is a "free admission" facility.
