| | During the time of the Civil War, when this region sided squarely with its southern neighbors, cotton was king in west Tennessee. Today Memphis reigns in this region of fertile farmlands and quiet lakes. Visit Elvis’s home at Graceland, or see the nation’s first Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. Wander north to join the eagle tours at Reelfoot Lake, or go boating amid the cypress trees. Try windsurfing on mammoth Kentucky Lake at Paris Landing, or watch for birds and flowers along its shores. |
