Where the Past Comes Alive
Established in 1976 to celebrate our nation’s 200th birthday, the Heritage Museum is housed in a renovated 1874 Mobile & Ohio railroad depot located at the corner of Russell and Fellowship Streets, in the heart of Starkville, Mississippi.

The museum offers a rich view of the history and culture of Starkville and Oktibbeha County through a permanent collection of artifacts that provide a window into our community’s bygone era.

The museum also hosts temporary, rotating exhibits – some of a contemporary nature – and sponsors special programs, events, and projects to keep visitors interested in returning.

We invite you to visit the museum for a closer look and a greater appreciation. Please remember to sign our guest register.

The Heritage Museum website is funded by the Friends of the Museum, which is responsible for the content and photos.
