In downtown Helena, Arkansas, the Delta Cultural Center preserves the culture and history of the Arkansas Delta through music, river history, agriculture, Native American history, the Civil War, and partnerships with other cultural organizations. Opened in 1990 in the Train Depot and later expanded to three buildings, it connects directly to Helena’s musical heritage through exhibits on Delta music, the King Biscuit Blues Festival, and King Biscuit Time. Its historic buildings also anchor exhibits on the 1863 Battle of Helena, Union occupation, enslaved people, women in wartime, the Mississippi River, the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, and the wider history of the Delta.
