Why visit Memphis?
Memphis is a city on the Mississippi River in the southwestern corner of Tennessee. It holds a central place in American music history as a birthplace of rock and roll and a home of the blues and soul. It is also an important site of the civil rights movement and one of the great barbecue cities of the United States.
Visit Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley, and Sun Studio, where Elvis, Johnny Cash and many others made early recordings. Spend an evening on Beale Street, famous for its blues clubs and live music. The Stax Museum of American Soul Music tells the story of the record label behind Otis Redding and other soul stars. The National Civil Rights Museum is built around the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968. At the Peabody Hotel, watch the daily march of ducks to and from the lobby fountain. Try Memphis barbecue, especially pork ribs served dry with a spice rub or wet with sauce, and walk along the riverfront at sunset.
