After the video finishes, their is a non-descript door on the side to star touring the exhibits. The gift shop has some good memorabilia items relating to delta music. The grave site outside is under some development, but worth seeing before you go. They don't allow photography in the exhibit areas.See more..
This was the most interesting, best laid out, interactive museum we’ve visited on our trip. A long journey of discovery about the Mississippi, the vessels that have sailed upon it, controlling the flood challenges, disasters along the way, and all those organisations involved in keeping it alive and well. There’s a small aquarium and an original steamboat, the M/V Mississippi IV, that you can visit, kitted out just how it would have been back in the day. That’s worth the best part of an hour by itself. An amazing place, highly recommended.See more..

This is a great stop to stretch your legs and learn about native son Jim Henson - the genius behind Kermit The Frog and The Muppets.

There's a lot of Kermit memorabilia and an original Kermit The Frog "Muppet" donated from The Henson family.

4.5McComb Railroad Museum(32 reviews) - Great Museum to visit for Adults and Children Speciality Museums
My Father worked with Illinois Central Railroad in McComb, MS and retired there. The museum has a picture that was made in 1936 on a locomotive with the men who worked there and my Father was in the picture. Has a train there that you can go into to see what it looked like back in the 1950's and 60'. As a little girl I rode the train to New Orleans. Brings back a lot of memories. This is a steam driven train. The seats were wooden and when you were going South you turned the back of the seat where you were facing South and when you were going North you would turn it were you were facing North. .I traveled on train starting in 1944. This train is no longer running.See more..

4.01927 Flood Museum(23 reviews) - Small, but well worth visiting Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums

The 12-minute documentary film superbly illustrates the Great Flood of ’27 and the struggle of man against nature.See more..
My husband and I enjoyed visiting this museum. The Museum Director greeted us warmly and was very welcoming. The young lady working at the front desk was friendly. The museum does not charge admission so that it is accessible to all. They used to charge admission for the special exhibits but no longer do that. We enjoyed seeing the very detailed ink drawings from an Italian artist in the 18th century. The scientific instruments were very interesting. There was a good collection of ancient Roman artifacts also. This small museum is well worth a visit!See more..
5.0Hattiesburg Pocket Museum(20 reviews) - Impressive feat for a small city Saturday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Speciality Museums
I had never heard of a pocket museum before visiting this artistic alley in downtown Hattiesburg. Very creative of what this small city did. The displays in the pocket museum change every month. You can also leave artwork and take artwork with you. I haven’t seen this much creativity in even larger cities. Worth pulling off the interstate for and free parking downtown.See more..

5.0The Apron Museum(9 reviews) - Americana, American History, and Beautiful, Funny Things all in One Place Speciality Museums
The Apron Museum has historic aprons on display from the Civil War and kitschy ones from the 50s. There's a culture about aprons - the ones you wore for work and the ones you changed into to look pretty but represent the work that as done. I had no idea. There are hundreds on display, more crushed together for a scavenger hunt on racks, and new ones for sale made in the design of the vintage. The best part was hearing the stories from the owner. She has a passion for aprons and it made me passionate about this everyday item, too.See more..

4.0Mount Locust(6 reviews) - Good place to stop and stretch your legs, learn some history Speciality Museums
We drove part of the Natchez Trace one rainy, miserable weekend. Mount Locust was probably the highlight of the trip. Mount Locust is a preserved roadside inn from the late 1700s. There are a few displays along the path to the house that provide information about life during that time. The guy in the gift shop couldn't sell me anything because of covid restrictions, but he was very knowledgeable and enthusiastically gave me information about the house and the area. I am looking forward to visiting again during better weather.See more..

All along the Mississippi Delta, there are places for Robert Johnson whether it be places his visited, crossroads, or the numerous burial spots for him. This museum tended to have more of his memorabilia than the others. It is still not a vast collection, but what do you expect on a museum about a man who died at 27 and only recorded about 20 songs?See more..
Please read this!! It is not a busy museum. You will find the door locked. Canton Tourism runs it and they are just around the corner and can let you in and give you a tour.

Loved this! I read in the reviews to call the number and they would schedule someone. I called earlier in the week and spoke with Ms Ann and she told me that Ms Wilson was great with the tours. She works on Fri and Mon, so I scheduled for myself and my 5 year old grandson to go today. I was awesome. She made it interesting for him. He enjoyed it. He even got dippin dots for being so good after the tour!!! He was excited because he had never had any. He loved the cotton candy flavor. They also suggested for us to visit several other places to see in town. We went and looked at those places. He had a lot of fun. They suggested the Petrified Forest, so we are going there tomorrow!!! Thanks Ms Ann and Ms Wilson for a very enjoyable and learning afternoon!See more..

This exhibit would only appeal to a select audience interested in writers from Greenville, Mississippi, so it has a limited audience. Given that, The library, has accessible parking and provides unlimited opportunities for people to learn more about these authors after seeing this exhibit. It should be updated, in my opinion.See more..
