The museum was proposed in 1997, by a group of citizens. They developed the museum’s mission statement which states, “The Tunica County Museum will interpret the history of Tunica County through exhibits, education programs, research and collections. Topics include the natural setting, Native American prehistory, early European exploration and settlement, and 19th and 20th century social, agricultural, institutional, political, military and commercial history. The exhibits will reflect the rich ethnic diversity of the County.†Funding for the project came from increased public revenues derived from casino gambling in Tunica County.
