March 30, 1957

Legislative Act 564 established Hampson Museum State Park in Mississippi County. It was dedicated in 1961 and underwent a major renovation in 1978. The changes not only allowed for more scientific study by archaeological scholars but also made the museum more interesting for visitors of all ages. In 2004, the state park museum became Hampson Archeological Museum State Park to offer visitors traveling the I-55 corridor a greater cultural and historical identity.
