About the area |
Helena became a major port on the Mississippi river around 1811 when steamboats began traveling on the river. The wealth produced by agricultural products found their way through the city. The Delta Cultural Center is a museum with two locations. The museum has exhibits, educational programs, annual events, and guided tours which provide visitors with the history of the Arkansas Delta. The Depot part of the museum presents the exhibit âA Heritage of Determinationâ which tells the history of the Delta from its earliest inhabitants, into early settlement, through great Mississippi River floods. The Depot also has exhibits with the theme âCivil War in the Deltaâ detailing the Union occupation and the Battle of Helena. At the Visitors center part of the museum, located nearby, has on display the âDelta Soundsâ music exhibit, a live radio studio and an exhibit space with changing presentations.
