When searching for an activity for my dad and myself while visiting Jackson I came across Century Farm Winery! My dad and I were the first customers therefore we got to spend a little more time tasting wine and talking. We were asked what our favorite wines were and we were provided with suggestion. The muscadine wines were my dad's favorite and I enjoyed them as well! I also enjoyed the fruit wines-I took peach home! I live in Maryland but I was born in Tennesee and I have family here so I love all things from Tennessee! I can't wait to share my wine with friends!
The visit was overall enjoyable, fun, educational and the setting was so warm and quaint. It isn't the biggest space on the inside but that means there is more time to talk to other guests. The grounds were beautifully manicured and the cat and dog were a joy to look at! The dog just relaxes and the cat moves but you'll see him join the dog and take his nap too! These two animals know the meaning of relaxing in the country! Lastly look out for the hummingbirds! This was my first time ever seeing a hummingbird! Id definitely visit again!

We go to a lot of ballparks around the country from MLB to triple and double "A." This is a fine, fine double "A" park. It is clean, pricing is great, views are great and unlike other smaller parks, they have great food choices. We especially liked the funnel cake fries. They were yummy! Their burgers are dry though. They had a great fireworks show after too. Free parking and our handicap seats were great, right behind homeplate. It is easy to get to, right off Interstate 40 too. Great place to take the family.

We were happily surprised by this wonderful place but wish we would have known these three things.
1) Its slippery. I guess I should have known with all the cool boardwalks under trees in a swamp it would make for slippery conditions but I just wasn't thinking. It isn't unsafe - just make sure your kids don't run, and you are prepared with good shoes.
2) Its a long walk. How far does the boardwalks go..... we have no idea, we ended up turning around because there was no end in sight. It was great, and the raptors along the route make for a great visit, but its a long walk in the woods.
3) Its peaceful. We enjoyed going in the morning and are glad we did. It was so peaceful and nice. The raptors were an added bonus.
You will enjoy this place.

Our teens and younger children always enjoy a stop at Casey Jones village. You can enjoy a meal or just go for dessert at the old fashioned ice cream shop. There is a great art gallery, putt-putt, a museum, plenty of outdoor space for the young kinds to run around and play and there are several fun shops.

This is a very interesting tour for people who love rock-a-billy music or the people who got their inspiration from it. Some surprising info was given and we were allowed to play the drums and guitar.

We were travelling from Nashville to Memphis and wanted somewhere to break the journey. After searching on here we decided on this place. Good call.
It’s less than 10 miles from the I-40.
We were made to feel very welcome by the super enthusiastic volunteers.
There is a lot of rail memorabilia squashed in here. There is also a large model railroad with buttons you can push to light up / move things.
Outside you can walk through the train cars – a family were setting up for a children’s party in there when we passed through so we didn’t hang about.
Don’t forget to pull the rope for the train whistle on the flagpole – I managed to annoy all the family with that!
A good 30 minute visit – although rail enthusiasts could spend MUCH longer.
It’s FREE but don’t forget to leave a donation.
Lovely clean restroom.
