Before Cordova was became an eastern extension of Memphis, it was its own place; a cute little town…read morecentered around a tiny train station, way out in the county. And while much of old Cordova is gone, there's one place where you can get your small-town fix. The small museum fills up one room (and a small annex) in the Cordova Community Center. Since the building housed the Cordova School from the early 1900s until the mid-1970s, much of the museum's limited space is given to a model classroom. After the school was closed, the county stored all of the old school fixtures in the building, which means that much of what you can see in the Cordova Museum is authentic to the school. There are musty books, old sports jerseys, photos of the first graduating class (three people), sheet music from the glee club, school picture day proofs and a binder full of graded writing assignments (mostly nature poetry) from the 1950s. The most impressive thing about the Cordova Museum, though, is its collection of photographs and archives from the town's history dating back to roughly 1860. And unlike many museums, the Cordova Museum's staff of one, Cordova native Darlene Hooker Sawyer, can tell you the names (and often the backstories) of every single person in the photographs. If you grew up in Cordova and ever participated in any Fourth of July parades, crafts fairs or halloween events at the Community Center, there's a high liklihood that your picture is in one of the binders in the Museum. Since my mom insisted that we participate in just about every single Cordova event, I was able to find a photo of my childhood best friend and I dressed up in ridiculous homemade red white and blue bunting dresses from an early 90s Independence Day parade. The Cordva Museum is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Admission is free, and they've also got free access to ancestrty.com from the museum computers.

Tucked in a rundown little town, the experience still felt worthwhile...and let's be honest, the town is definitely capitalizing on the legacy of The Man in Black. But something tells me Johnny wouldn't mind one bit. The visit starts in a modest welcome center with memorabilia and a short film. Then, in classic small-town style, you follow behind the guide in your car about two miles to the actual home. The house is small, simple, and humble, just as you'd imagine a Depression-era homestead to be. It's been lovingly restored and really does feel like a window into Johnny's early life. Afterward, you head back to town to explore another small exhibit focused on homesteading history and a bit more on Johnny himself. It was a perfectly fine way to spend the afternoon, especially if you're a Cash fan or enjoy a dose of Americana. Only disappointment? The t-shirts for sale were kind of blah.

It was fun but more than half of the park is outside and it was a quite hot. I recommend visiting in the Spring or Fall when the weather is nice. Because we came on a weekday, the crowds were very manageable. Sadly, in my opinion, too many of the outdoor exhibits were closed or under renovation. My 20 month old enjoyed looking at the cars and tractors and rode in the stroller almost the whole time. I would say this museum is good for ages 3 and up (probably why under 3 has free admission!) We started inside and then explored the outdoor grounds, which were very spacious and clean. We also ate at the cafe, which was ok but in my opinion had low food quality as the corn dogs were undercooked and was a bit expensive for its quality of food. There are many add ons to your experience that we didn't do this time because we didn't think they would be great for our toddler (earthquake simulator, movie, 3D show, observation deck). We enjoyed the park overall but we were expecting more of the exhibits indoors.
