The Delta Blues Museum Fund supports the mission of the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi, helping preserve and celebrate the history and heritage of one of America’s most influential musical art forms.
Located in the heart of the Mississippi Delta at the famed crossroads of Highways 61 and 49, the Delta Blues Museum has served as a steward of Blues history since 1979. As Mississippi’s oldest music museum, the institution preserves artifacts, stories, and traditions connected to the artists and communities that helped shape the Blues and its lasting influence around the world.
Housed in Clarksdale’s historic freight depot, the museum offers permanent exhibits, educational programming, and community experiences that invite visitors of all ages to explore the cultural roots of the Blues and the Delta region.
Through the Delta Blues Museum Fund at the Community Foundation for Mississippi, supporters can help sustain the museum’s ongoing work to preserve this important piece of Mississippi’s cultural history for future generations.
