Phillips County Museum

The Phillips County Museum preserves and interprets the rich history of Phillips County and the Arkansas Delta region. The museum's collection includes significant artifacts from the Civil War, particularly the Battle of Helena fought on July 4, 1863, which was a crucial Union victory in controlling the Mississippi River.

Exhibits cover the region's Native American heritage, the steamboat era on the Mississippi River, the agricultural history of the Delta, and the community's development over two centuries. The museum also features rotating exhibits highlighting various aspects of local history and culture.

Located in historic downtown Helena, the museum provides essential context for understanding the region's pivotal role in American history.
