The Delta Cultural Center, a museum of the Arkansas Department of Heritage located in downtown Helena-West Helena (Phillips County), opened in 1990. The center features two museum locations: the Visitor Center and the restored 1912 Union Pacific Railroad Depot. Among the features of the museum is a permanent exhibit, shown here, tracing the history of blues music and the individuals from the area who have contributed to the development of the blues.
