The Mound Bayou Museum is the first Museum specifically, about Mound Bayou Mississippi. We attempt to unveil the untold story of African Americans while exposing the true history of Mound Bayou. There are several ways for touring the Mound Bayou Museum for the first time. Whether you’re looking to tour individually or in a group, you may come by at regular hours of call ahead of time to schedule a group. We will work to accommodate you.
