Mission

As part of the National Park Service’s National Heritage Areas program, the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area (MSNHA) was created to promote cultural tourism by education, preservation and conservation of the heritage and culture of the six counties within the designated area. MSNHA seeks to inform, educate, develop and interpret visitor-ready sites, create living history experiences and chronicle the evolution of the area’s landscape as well as extend these opportunities to the largest audience possible.

MSNHA’s three themes are music, Native American heritage, and the Tennessee River.
