MISSISSIPPI DELTA CHINESE HERITAGE MUSEUM

The fertile land of the Mississippi Delta has made the region fundamental to America’s agricultural economy. In the wake of the Emancipation Proclamation and the Civil War, immigrants from a diverse array of ancestries and cultures began to inhabit the area. In the 1880’s Chinese immigrants began to work in the vast fields and farmlands of the Delta, originally as a source of inexpensive labor. Since then, the Chinese families that settled here have been an integral part of the community. At the Mississippi Delta Chinese Heritage Museum, the rich history of this significant community is displayed and preserved. As you explore the museum, discover the powerful stories of the Chinese families and culture that are tightly woven into the Mississippi Delta.
