Crossroads Museum

The Crossroads Museum at The Historic Depot in Corinth, Mississippi is home to many artifacts detailing the history of Northern Mississippi. Permanent exhibit items include fossils, American Indian artifacts, depot and railroad industry history displays, aviation memorabilia, and Civil War relics.

We are located at the famous Crossroads - the Memphis & Charleston and the Mobile & Ohio railroads gave Corinth a strategic significance that made it the most strategic transportation hub during the Civil War. The Crossroads still exists and enjoys frequent traffic as Norfolk Southern and Kansas City send dozens of freight trains through Corinth each day.
