The renovation of the school gym in Marion, Arkansas is just about complete. It will be followed by exhibits to chronicle the history of the nation’s worst maritime disaster 7 miles from Memphis.
Construction is beginning on the new museum, which will be nearly 20 times bigger than the existing one. The developers hope to have it open by April 27, 2025, the 160th anniversary of the disaster.
The worst maritime disaster in U.S. history happened on the Mississippi River near Memphis, and the Sultana Historical Preservation Society is making sure it is not forgotten.
