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.

Known as "The best whistlestop between Memphis and Nashville " we really loved this themed village. There is so much to see with the Historic Casey Jones Home & Railroad Museum ; The world famous Brooks Shaw’s Old Country Store Restaurant An authentically recreated 1890's Ice Cream Parlor & Fudge Shoppe, Southern Gift and Confectionery Shoppe. The convenient Old Country Store Dixie Cafe, The Wellwood Store (Featuring master woodcarver Dee Moss), The Judge Milton Brown Pullman Railcar, The 175 year old Providence House, and the Village Chapel, an old church from Haywood County. This is the perfect stop if you want to get a feel for the old America. Casey Jones is of course an Imortal locally and when you see his story it is hard not to agree.
