About Delta Music Museum

The Delta Music Museum sits in downtown Ferriday, Louisiana, and honors the musical heritage of the Delta region. It showcases 30 artists across blues, soul, gospel, and country, and explains how these styles blended in the 1950s into the new sound of rock and roll and rockabilly. The museum is the first site in Louisiana marked by the Mississippi Blues Trail. Visitors can also find a Hall of Fame display, an arcade theater, and a performance space that can be rented.
