What a surprise to find this state of the art, highly sophisticated and interactive museum in the Mississippi Delta in a small town. We were on the American Queen Steamboat Company cruise on the beautiful brand new riverboat The Countess. Our first excursion was the Grammy Museum in the Mississippi Delta town of Cleveland. Wow! It is so fun and interesting. All throughout the museum you can listen to the tunes, watch videos, engage with the displays! My favorite was an exhibit that took you from the earliest recording methodology the Gramophone, then the 78’s, then the 45’s, then the tape cassette, then digital and now surround sound. It was so cool! Take the Mississippi cruise on American Queen Steamboat Company and visit the Grammy Museum.

It was so unique that it caught my eye while driving to cross the Mississippi River into Arkansas. Came back by and stopped for a photo op and to see inside. Postcards would be an excellent addition to the place.

1927 Flood Museum

Exhibited in the oldest structure in Downtown Greenville, this museum presents the history of one of the greatest natural disasters this country has ever known. On Thursday, April 21, 1927, at 7:45 a.m., at 7:45 A.M., the levee at Stops Landing, 8 miles north of Greenville, broke due to the pressure from the swollen Mississippi River and created the greatest single crevasse ever to occur anywhere on the river. View actual flood artifacts and photographs illustrating the flood’s impact on life and death during the four months Greenville and the Mississippi Delta were inundated. The 12-minute documentary film superbly illustrates the Great Flood of ’27 and the struggle of man against nature.
