I have visited multiple Civil War sites and one thing that never ceases to amaze me is how tranquil these places are, yet on December 19, 1862, that tranquility was shattered when approximately one thousand men engaged in a two hour battle. We need to remember these moments in history, we need to remember the footsteps that led us to today. Again, I am always surprised at the tranquility of these Civil War battle sites. It is almost like the land is saying that it knew violence and now only embraces peace and tranquility. I am better for finding this spot and am grateful that I was able to pay my respects to those who fell on that fateful day back in 1862. If you are in the area, I definitely recommend you come here. Pay your respects and learn of the footsteps that led us to the world we stand in today. I give this a rating of five stars and again, I would definitely recommend a visit here.

I was visiting alone, and a random dude in a truck pulled up and parked right next to me, didn't even get out of his truck, so I got a little spooked and didn't get to stay as long as I wanted. I'm so very glad I made the drive out nonetheless.

The church was built in 1871 and from 1906-1976 served as Fillmore Street Presbyterian Church. The building was constructed with load-bearing brick walls, and windows with lancet arches. The main steeple is attached to the front facade of the building. The chapel is now host to weddings and other special events. It is surrounded by hydrangeas with blooms that change colors as they age. The arched windows reflect back to the viewer. This is perhaps the most photographed building in Corinth. I'm known to have shot it several times.

After finding out Aretha Franklin's childhood home was somewhere we could visit, we decided to go!…read more The place needs a proper prayer and better sense of care than what it has become. The queen of soul was born here in Memphis, Tennessee. A woman that was raised here but became the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not only did she become a superstar winning Grammy after Grammy. She was a civil rights servant to so many individuals. She used her voice to and fame to keep the civil rights movement going. She performed free concerts and put gas in the vans for people to drive. This is where she came from, now she's watching from Heaven. This special lady, a preachers daughter. She is remembered always for her love and dedication to humankind. When you're in Memphis, Tennessee next time make sure and stop to see this.

This humble home is where the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, first drew breath on March25,1942 Despite being in a rough spot--windows boarded, weeds creeping, and parts collapsing--it still whispers history at every creak You can't go inside, but stepping onto the porch--or as close as allowed--fills you with awe. This is ground zero for gospel that would later shake the world. Aretha herself returned here in 2014 and recalled memories of her father preaching and her family gathering under a backyard tree with nostalgia and fondness The neighborhood, part of historic Soulsville, bears its own scars--decades of neglect and blight. But the house stands at the center of a hopeful revival. Local activists and preservation groups have fought zoning orders and demolition plans, and as recently as mid-2024, efforts to stabilize and restore the site gained traction--especially now that Anasa Troutman owns the property with the intent to honor its legacy in place

Tour times don't seem to be specified anywhere, but when we randomly stopped in early on a Saturday afternoon, we only had to wait 10 minutes or so. We were 2 of just 5 on tour, so nicely intimate. The starting point is the parking and building across the street from the house. We were told not to sit anywhere or touch anything, A bit of a downer for someone like me who is constantly leaning or sitting, but the tour is not particularly long, and the house did have a/c installed by the original owners, so it's not uncomfortable.
