Tunica: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Tunica is a small city located in the northwestern part of Mississippi, United States, in an area known as the Mississippi Delta. The city has transformed significantly since the early 1990s when it became one of the South's major gaming destinations.

Prior to this transformation, Tunica was primarily an agricultural community, known for its cotton production. The region has a rich cultural heritage deeply rooted in the Delta Blues music tradition, which developed in this area during the early 20th century. The city and surrounding county maintain strong connections to both their agricultural past and Native American heritage, with archaeological evidence of indigenous settlements dating back centuries.

Today, Tunica balances its gaming industry with efforts to preserve and showcase its historical and cultural legacy through various cultural institutions and community initiatives.
