The museum features a vast permanent collection of pieces documenting Corinth and Alcorn County’s black history. Exhibits are supplemented with special short-term displays. Collections include tributes to Corinth’s first black Mayor, Mayor E.S. Bishop; entertainers such as opera singer, Ruby Elzy; local and nationally known sports figures; African art and artifacts; and artifacts from local historically Black churches and former segregated Black schools. Considerable effort has been made to provide the public with comprehensive and positive information and images of Black Americans and their contributions they have made to society.
Corinth National Cemetery serves at the final resting place for 1,793 known and 3,895 unknown soldiers representing 273 regiments from 15 states.
