Guidebook for Memphis
Sightseeing
Site of several world competitions in metalworking. The artists can't take large works home on the plane, so the collection ranges from fine jewelry pieces up to big wrought metal gates. Gorgeous overlook of the Mississippi River from its position on the high bluffs.

Among the original recording studios where Rock & Roll was born as Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and many many more legends recorded here in the 1950s. At least a half-hour tour is well worth a fan's time. Carry loose change in case metered parking is available nearby on the street.

Among the best fresh catfish anywhere, restaurant sits on the bank of the Tennessee River with beautiful view. Day trip from Memphis (2 hours' drive each way). Tip: take TN-385 to US Hwy 72 across northern Mississippi to avoid speed traps on TN Hwy 57, as well as enjoy the views along MS Hwy 2 north of Corinth MS and TN Hwy 22. Restaurant and nearby Pittsburg Landing Hotel are adjacent to Shiloh National Military Park, site of Civil War's first major battle, where 23,746 were killed, wounded, or went missing -- in just two days -- on April 6-7, 1862. Gorgeous forest and dales of West Tennessee!
