The Southern Tenant Farmers Museum in Tyronza, AR is dedicated to preserving the history and promoting the legacy of sharecropping, tenant farming, and the farm labor movement in the Mississippi River Delta. Housed in the historic Mitchell-East Building, the museum offers a virtual tour and interactive timeline to enhance knowledge and understanding of tenant farming and agricultural labor movements.
Through grants from the Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities, the museum has been able to restore the Mitchell-East Building and develop exhibits that showcase the experiences of tenant farmers and their contributions to the region's history. Visitors can explore the museum's collection, which includes photographs, artifacts, and stories that shed light on the challenges and resilience of those involved in tenant farming in Arkansas.
