MEMPHIS

 Memphis, the region's largest city, is a treasure trove of American lore. At Graceland mansion, thousands annually pay homage to Elvis Presley, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, while visitor to The National Civil Rights Museum come to fully appreciate the sacrifices of those who bravely fought for racial equality. Memphis also means paddlewheel boats on the broad Mississippi, recalling the days of Twain, Dixon Gallery and Gardens, displaying artworks of the masters amid 17 acres of formal and informal gardens, the Memphis Zoo, with its new multi-million-dollar, one-of-a-kind Cat Country; and, of course, Beale Street, the birthplace of that quintessentially American sound, the Blues.

WELCOME TO TENNESSEE'S LARGEST CITY: MEMPHIS on the MISSISSIPPI


 Memphis is known as a place of Good Abode - a growing city which ranks second to none in national acclaim for cleanliness and beautification. Here is the capital of the Mid-South, where the Old South and the New South met. And here, too, is a gateway across the mighty Mississippi to the West and to our "sister city" West Memphis, Arkansas.
