January 21, 2022 Russell Mellin

Situated squarely between Memphis and Nashville on Tennessee's "Heart of the Music Highway," Jackson has been the birthplace of numerous notable musicians in the traditional Southern styles of rockabilly, blues and gospel. The famous names of Jackson include Carl Perkins, Sonny Boy Williamson, Big Maybell and Big Joe Turner. Time your visit right and you might catch the annual Shannon Street Blues Festival or the Rockabilly Festival, hosted by The International Rock-A-Billy Hall of Fame.

The owner made us feel welcome and the wine was excellent with my wife stating the Muscodine was the best she's had. Bart also took the time to explain the history of the area which was fascinating. We highly recommend stopping here!

We enjoyed our visit. The model train exhibit must have taken many hours of construction as it is quite extensive. The guides were helpful and happy to share their knowledge. Many pictures and maps that give railroad history. Enjoyed getting to see inside the dining car. Free admission

We stopped by here for a nice mid-trip break between Memphis and Nashville. It's not far off the highway. When we arrived it looked like it might be closed because the door windows are mirror tinted. Inside we found Rusty who offered us a tour or to let us browse alone. We took him up on the tour which provided key details and history of each car. He then let us wander back alone at our pace to look closer at the cars of interest, take pictures etc. This was definitely a stop worth seeing. He mentioned soon there will be another building with a bunch more cars, so if I'm ever in the area, I will definitely come take a look.
