Visitors from around the world come to the Delta Music Museum, which highlights favorite sons Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley, Percy Sledge, Irma Thomas, and Leon “Pee Wee” Whittaker and other Mississippi Delta area performers.  Tourists from 38 states and 14 countries have visited the museum.  

Olar Moore of Ferriday, who played a key role in making the museum a reality, said, “We have a great deal to be proud of here. The museum is one big way to show the world how proud we are of what we have to offer.”

Next door to the museum is a 1920s-era Arcade Theater that will become part of the museum in the future, with a concert hall, a mini-recording studio, and children’s music shows.  There is a gift shop with autographed t-shirts, caps, celebrity CDs, and music memorabilia. 

The museum frequently entertains guests with live music performances during museum tours.

The museum, which is housed in the old post office building, hosts the Delta Music Festival and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies annually on the first Saturday in the month of April.

Cost:  FREE, but donations accepted.
