A great deal goes into bringing folks our Tupelo story every day. We couldn’t accomplish our mission without the assistance of great partners, including the Mississippi Humanities Council.
Itâs nearly time.
Next week, the Oren Dunn City Museum â the much-improved Oren Dunn City Museum â will fling open her doors to the public for the first time in nearly nine months. (And no jokes about birthinâ babies).
Weâre doing this grand opening thing several different ways and on several different days.
First, weâll honor the ladies of the Tupelo Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta with a heritage exhibit and reception at 6 p.m. Monday. This is the first in a series of temporary exhibits to honor the Divine 9, as the Black fraternities and sororities are known. We are honored to have worked with these women, especially Tupelo Parks and Recreationâs own Shanta Jones, a new Delta.
