Mary and Will welcomed me like family:) I spent 2 hours touring the 2 buildings outside and 3 rooms inside. Nice detailed displays of aquariums, music history, Tina Turner schoolhouse & life, local history and the cotton industry; among others. Also has gift shop. An extensive collection of tourist/travel pamphlets for TN and surrounding states. Please visit this little gem if youre in west Tenn:)

Great little museum, so much info on all the musicians that came from that area. Also the cotton industry, I think there were 5 rooms devoted to different subjects. The 2 women that were running it were so nice. It was a great stop!

Good place to visit some interesting heritage here.Below is the flag of honor. The Fallen from 9-11. God bless America

Well done and informative museum. You can tell that they take pride in this museum. Friendly employees and super clean (including restrooms). I was surprised and impressed and will be back!

So much to see. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Cant wait to see it again.

FREE FREE - Dont miss this. If you are driving by and have the time this is a great stop. Good bathrooms hyes, but even better there are a few museums: cotton, country music, wildlife, even the school that Tina Turner went to. We spent an hour but a shorter visit is fine too.

Very interesting enjoyed it very much.we were traveling from California just so happened to stop & we stayed over night we enjoyed it. Thank you

This place is absolutely amazing! Wonderful history with great museums and very kind staff. Come sit on the porch and stay awhile.

Its 5 museums in 1, with a gift shop, which is nice. The staff/volunteers were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The museums may seem a bit smaller than a large city, however, for the size of the town, they were more than adequate. I just wish they would put up more signage on I-40 to let people know the museums are there. Theres almost no signage as you approach.

Fun atmosphere great exhibit and wonderful memorabilia the gift shop had unique gifts and the Tina Turner museum is why we stopped and i can honestly say i didnt know what to expect and it was fabulous. The story behind the school house was awesome

A really nice place to stop in to gain a bit of history on several TN great music legends - Blues and the great Tina Turner who is in a class of her own! There too is the historical information about the beautiful West Tennessee area that includes everything back from the Civil War Era, Agriculture (cotton), and of course the History of the Hatchie River...so, if you are traveling along I-40 and feel the need to stop or just want to venture outside of the city for a little history on a road trip...stop in @ Ext 56 and spend some time Tinas old school house or walking through the museum.

Great thoughtfulness of visitors with plenty of sanitation stations to keep all visitors safe.

Super excited to have added this stop on our musical camping tour. Tina Turner is a HUGE musical influence in my life and this opportunity to see and be inside an important part of her history was truly a highlight. Conveniently located right off of I40. Donations welcome.

Was nice. Learned some interesting stuff about musicians I didnt know. Give it a try

Fantastic stop along I40. Tons of music history showcased here in Visitors Center. Best part of the stop is the Tina Turner Museum housed in the one room blacks only school that she actually attended as a child living in the area. She donated several of her costumes and gold records.

Very friendly and very nice staff that work there.

Amazing little find. Its free and full of amazing history. Tina Turner school is full of memorabilia. A great place

Small little museum and so full of history. You get to see the rebuilt School that Tina Turner attended as well as the rebuilt home that blues legend Sleepy John Estes lived in. Great history on other Jazz and Blues legends, some Elvis Memorabilia, great history on the Hatchie River and on cotton processing too.

Wonderful place to visit, the area has a huge history in music. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

It was a great experience good seeing things hands on for a change other than just hearing.

Artistically and photographically Beautiful! Lots of info about cotton

This place is a surprising welcome center and museum, rolled into one pleasant place to visit. Im glad we stopped by.

This was such a poignant glimpse into Tina Turners life. Although donations are gratefully accepted, there is no admission charge.

SO neat! The museum is set in her old Childhood school house which was moved to this location. So you can probably see everything in about 15 minutes, definitely worth getting off the road and stopping by!

A great museum, even open on Thanksgiving!!! Some very interesting exhibits, great fish tanks, especially loved Tina Turner’s old school! Incredibly friendly staff, loved sticking my pin in the map and ringing the school bell.

I came in search of the school home of Tina Turner and found much more. This museum or treasure is located in Brownsville, TN and worth the experience. I learned more than Ive ever wanted to know about cotton in their West TN cotton museum, the actual home of Sleepy John Estes, and of course the school home of Tina Turner! Most experience!

Nice place for a short stop on the way to Nashville. Very interesting staff friendly and helpful.

This was a nice place to visit on a rest stop. Take the time to visit and leave a donation!

First visit here, well laid out. Very good history. Its very inspiring history. The lady that greeted us was very friendly and knowledgeable.would love to come back

I hade a great stay here when I was om my way to Memphis. The personal was very nice and the coffee was great!In this place you also find the Tina Turner museum and everything is for free so take your time and look around :)

Found Delta Heritage Center by chance...Tinas school house was nice but I was not wowed by the place.

While looking for things to do that were close to Jackson TN, we decided to check out this museum. Ive always enjoyed Tina Turners music and considered her a legendary performer. I was curious as to what this museum would have to offer and I have to say that I was impressed. This place is definitely a hidden treasure right off the interstate. It is much more than just a simple museum. There are three other sections that have some great artifacts. Also, it is free! The staff is very friendly and the place is very well kept. What a treasure and to know that the legendary Tina Turner grew up not too far from this museum. Check it out when you can, you will not be disappointed.

We stopped off here on our way from Memphis to Nashville - well worth the visit particularly if you like Tina Turner

Very friendly. Wish we could have seen closer views of Tinas dresses. Also would have liked to see inside the school.

Great place right off I40 to stop and stretch your legs. Brownsville is the childhood home of Tina Turner and the her school house. Lots of other history and information about the area available just inside the Visitor center.

Love it Staff is friendly and helpful very welcoming very affordable merchandise the museum is free to the public we had a wonderful time.

What a wonderful place to visit!

Such a cute little find driving from Texas to Ohio. Its free, very quaint and cool for certified Tina-fans as well as just curious people.

Great museum and visiting area. Right off of I-40 very easy to get to. Lest then give minutes off of interstate.

The musem is free, there is a lot of history there. The ladies that work there are so nice. They have complimentary coffee, clean restroom & a souvenir shop. My mom & I enjoyed ourselves.

Here we were unexpectedly in this small town visiting its wonderful museum. Not only memories of a favourite star, her clothing in the old school house, stories of the cotton industry and local history. Well done.

Its amazing, touching.... memories of my childhood

Makes for a short stopover of around 1 to 2 hours it cpmprises 4 exhibits the school Tina Turner was taught in which has been relocated from Brownsville, and 3 other exhibits. Tina Turner has visited and once she had verified it was in fact the school she went too has donated quote a bit of memorabilia to be dusplayed in it. Other exhibits cover cotton industry in the area, music and local resources.

Loved it! Im a history freak, an educator, and I love Tina Turner! This was a win- win- win.

A wonderful step back in time to Tina Turners school house

We were told about this museum and if we liked Tina Turner, we should stop here. She had her one room schoolhouse moved from Flatbush here. We had no idea what we would find. It was a gem. There is no charge. When you go in there are her different costumes from movies and concerts and they are playing her music. plus other memorabilia. Then there is a a school room set up like she went to. Plus there is a bonus cabin next to it. Its worth stopping for, and it is right off the exit.

Interesting and unexpected place to visit. We stop randomly to get something for lunch and near the restaurant we notice a large gathering.Like a fair. And then we noticed the school where Tina Turner studied.There is a small museum about her.Aroind the school, there were some food trucks and a small scenario with a soul singer. This was a wonderful experience.

The facility is BEAUTIFUL but sorely lacking with Tina Turner memorabilia!

Nice place to stop and stretch your legs. Good collection of local history.

Awesome display of memorabilia

Incredibly friendly staff. Very informative. Would highly recommend.

Wow! Please dedicate some time to this marvelous piece of history. There is a LOT to see!! Dont let appearances deceive you: its bigger on the inside. The volunteer staff are friendly and helpful, the restrooms are clean and today, and there is plenty of parking.

The ladies giving the tours are very knowledgeable and friendly. The entire staff is always nice and helpful. Our Camp kids learned some new things and enjoyed the day there.

So much information about cotton. Nice Tina Turner memorabilia. Nice staff.

Its a nice reminder of Southern Heritage, thats not my cup of tea. Im not in to that period of history but its great for history lessons. The Tina Turner exhibit is quaint but wonderful. The customer service was great also.

Its a really cool place. A lot of history that I never knew about besides Tina Turner. Learned a ton more about cotton. Their display of it is educational. Definitely a place to check out if youre in the neighborhood. The staff are friendly and encourage you to come back. Good feeling.

Very interesting, ladies very friendly and helpful. Overall a great look at another piece of American history and lifestyle.

Ive been to the Center several times. Theres always something new to see. Always great music. The folks at the center are friendly and very helpful.

The people are always friendly! They have rooms packed with information and history. Its a great stop to stretch your legs, use the restroom and learn a thing or two about the area! They sometimes host authors for storytelling.

I enjoy stopping every time Im in the area. I use the excuse of buying a new Tina Turner keyring but in reality I just love the place. The volunteers here are the best and make you feel welcome.

This small town is full of history. Small, quaint worth the stop

Its small and cool but amazing. Its good to know your history. Tina is a bad woman. Shake Your Tail Feather. I hope Ike not there

Five museums in one location -- unheard of! Memorabilia galore and the history of each piece. Interstate 40W, exit 56

I drove a lot of miles to get there. Mostly to see the Tina turner museum. Its not big. But for real fans is so so impressive. The feeling you have seeing those items are hard to explain. Feel closer and really I will never forget the visit. If you have time a few miles to Nutbush and get a little cotton piece to take home.. like I did

Fun visitors center with free museums and free coffee. Great place to get out and stretch your legs on a long road trip.

Take a few minutes off from driving I-40. Its worth the break. Learn about the Delta Blues, Tina Turners schoolhouse, etc.

If you are just a mild fan of Tina Turner you have to go here. The women who work their grew up with her. I was told by one of the workers that they spoke with Tinas assistant and the assistant stated that Tina is doing better.

A friendly welcome and interesting displays. Loved the Tina Turner part.

Great little place we stopped off at very interesting and free

Enjoyable! Friendly staff, FREE Wi-Fi, coffee. Donations accepted. Its small but more there to see than expected. Highlight twas Tina Turner museum!Highly recommend touring all of center.

I was amazed by all of it. Words cant express I loved it. Many things to see

Most engaging artifacts showing agricultural tools and the landscapes which produced the Blues. Free admission and friendly, informative staff.

Anne Marie was very informative and welcoming!

Several museums are interesting, free admission. Good for quick visit and coffee traveling I-40 or longer if have time.

Never been here before. It was good

Cool place to check out. Right off I40

Good stop stretch the legs and learn something

West Tennessee Heritage Center. Staff was great. 3 small museums on site.

Great place to stop. The staff were happy to help us with questions and souvenirs. The museum is worth walking through if you have time!

Shawn our bus driver ( and chief bridesmaid) came across this site unexpectedly and it was excellent. 4 small museums in one building and free too! Museums including Tina Turner.

The people working here are absolutely amazing. Some of the friendliest people I met on my trip. I actually spent a half hour talking to them about photography and electronics. (Oct 2015)They walked the floor and pulled brochures, magazines and maps, marking all sorts of things that might make for good photography. They pulled other people from the office in, and asked them for suggestions as well.I felt like these people were honestly invested in helping me make my photography trip to Tennessee a good one. After leaving I regretted not getting the womans name who helped me, as I wanted to gift her a photo if I happened to capture something amazing.If your looking for travel advice, I highly suggest this as a place to stop. The staff here are highly knowledgeable and helpful.

Great place. Great staff.

Great place, wonderful people!

It was closed when we were there.

Extremely well done, easy to find, and the docents very knowledgeable.

Theres a video in the school to watch very informative

Plan on attending the festival next year with my Blues loving possee.

Great museums and the people that staffed them were very friendly. Best of all it was free.

The reason I give this place a 4 star is because I expected it to be a welcome center where they sold trinkets and other state related items but turned out to be a Tina Turner store. I really wanted to buy a good tshirt before leaving the state.

Its a pretty small museum but its full of neat information and the employees are outrageously knowledgeable on all of the exhibits. I only wanted to see the Tina Turner museum but I was pleasantly surprised by everything else this location had to offer.

Cool place to visit worth the time to learn about the history of the area.

Wonderful little gem! I very much enjoyed the Cotton Museum where they have many displays and items associated to the cotton era. There is a lot to learn here. They also have a Hatchie River Museum, the historic Flagg Schoolhouse, and much more! There is no charge and there is even a nice gift shop. Very satisfied with my visit.

Several related museums, interesting and free! Right off I-40, then behind McDonalds.

Worth the stop. Only Tina Turner Museum there is. Folks are so nice. Cute gift shop as well

I liked the originality of it being in her old school house she attended!

Just off the highway stop and go through the experience

A wonderful time and place for everything ️.

My husband and I were met by 3 awesome ladies that made us feel right at home!!! Blessings to all!!!

A very interesting place to visit and learn about cotton picking but sad to hear about the slave trade

This is a composite of Tennessee highlights, from Tennessee crops and a look at the history of those crops in Tennessee, to Tennessee music. Youll see and hear examples of the blues to rock and roll!
