Tina Turner Museum at Flagg Grove School

Anna Mae Bullock was born November 26, 1939, in a small farming community in Haywood County, Tennessee, called Nutbush.

Her childhood school, Flagg Grove School, was saved from destruction and moved from its original location in the Flagg Grove community of Nutbush to the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center in Brownsville on June 1, 2012. The first Tina Turner Heritage Days was held in September of that year to commemorate the saving of Flagg Grove and honor it’s most famous student.

Following two years of fundraising and renovations to restore the school, the world’s only Tina Turner Museum at Flagg Grove School opened to the public with a ribbon cutting ceremony September 26, 2014. Fans from all over the world, along with community and state leaders came together to declare September 26 as Tina Turner Day in the State of Tennessee.

Since that time, Tina Turner Heritage Days is held each year on the 4th weekend of September at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center in Brownsville, Tenn. Fans visit to spend the weekend getting to know each other, touring Nutbush and the surrounding area and celebrating the music of their favorite singer.
