We hope the public will offer ideas about how we can best present the local history of each region we visit. We also welcome suggestions about artifacts that we might want to exhibit in the new museum.

They're passing through, and this is the one place they can learn about the state, about blues, civil rights, the Civil War, cotton ... and also the history and significance of this National Historic Landmark.

We'd like to stay located in that facility until the new museum is built.
