The Delma Furniss Hospitality Station is the only Ms Welcome Center named for an individual. Senator Furniss is honored because of his diligence of 16 years in pursuing the establishment of the center.

Located in the Ms River Delta Region at the junction of state highways 49 & 61 near Lula, Ms, the center opened in September of 2004 after a two-year archeological dig. The area abounds with Native American artifacts and our center sits on a very historically significant site. The center shows a film about its history and the archeology dig in which over 10,000 artifacts were found dating back several thousand years and include two different time periods. Shards, arrowheads and other artifacts are displayed along with pertinent information.
