When you visit the Cotton Museum, you're treading on the legendary floor of the Memphis Cotton Exchange—where cotton traders once stood at the center of the global cotton economy. Until recently, no one was allowed in here except members and their guests.
Now this spectacular room is open to the public. It has been painstakingly restored and is devoted to sharing the story of cotton—the crop that created empires, transformed American culture, and changed the history of a nation and the world.
Come see for yourself.
