Description:

Before Europeans set foot upon Mississippi Valley Soil, American Indians had developed a vibrant and sophisticated culture in the Memphis area. Chucalissa Museum allows visitors to explore the lifeways of these people.

Operated by the University of Memphis, Chucalissa serves as a gateway into understanding the science of archaeology and the interpretation of Native American history. Museum exhibits interpret the prehistory of the Mid-South, and contemporary Southeastern Indian cultures.

Chucalissa offers guided tours, traveling exhibits, and a variety of special events for students and the general public. The Choctaw Indian Heritage Festival is held annually in August.
