Fall is almost here at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center, and we’re giving you two great reasons to plan a trip!

First, see a piece of West Tennessee’s agricultural past come to life during the Antique Tractor Show. Bonus - our West Tennessee Cotton Museum is now open for you to explore. Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026.

Then, join us for Tina Turner Heritage Days—a weekend celebrating Tina’s music, story and lasting legacy here in her hometown. Friday, Sept. 25 - Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026.

While you’re here, explore our museums, step inside Tina’s childhood schoolhouse and experience the music, history and culture of Tennessee’s Delta region.

Two special events. Two weekends. One great time to visit the Delta Heritage Center. We hope to see you soon!

When visitors from Australia (and New Zealand) come to Tina Turner’s hometown, you know the Nutbush is going to break out eventually! 🇦🇺💃

And what better place for a quick dance lesson than the porch of Tina’s childhood schoolhouse? The group even made sure their driver learned the steps before they left. 😂

The Nutbush really does bring people together from all over the world. ❤️
