Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

On the 23rd of April 1940 the unthinkable happened in Natchez, Mississippi. A large group of people where socializing and having fun at the Rhythm Nightclub when a fire broke out at around midnight. There was only one door to get in and out of the club, which meant that many of the revelers were trapped inside. In total, 208 people perished in the fire and many more were traumatized. The Rhythm Nightclub Memorial Museum was set up to honor all who lost their lives in the tragic incident and to help insure that history will not be repeated. The museum contains newspaper clippings, recorded interviews with survivors, first-hand descriptions of the fire and much more.
