Everyone in my multigenerational family found something of interest. My grandmother beelined straight to the agricultural exhibits. I read all the placards to absorb the rich Mid-South history. My aunt recalled her glory days as a Tina Turner fan as she admired the dresses and jewelry in the exhibits.

My husband, who is a huge movie buff, thoroughly enjoyed this! Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something to do.

If you are visiting Memphis, the National Civil Rights Museum is an absolute must. This was one of…read morethe most meaningful and emotional places I have ever visited. The museum is very well done and takes you through the history of the Civil Rights Movement in a way that is both educational and powerful. There is so much to read, see, and experience that we spent several hours here and still felt like we could have spent more time. The most moving part of the visit was seeing the Lorraine Motel and standing outside Room 306, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spent his final moments. It is hard to describe the feeling of being there in person. As a teacher and a parent, I especially appreciated how the museum encourages important conversations about history, equality, and justice. The exhibits are thoughtfully put together and tell stories that everyone should hear. I would definitely recommend wearing comfortable shoes and giving yourself plenty of time because this is not a place you want to rush through. The experience stays with you long after you leave. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Memphis and a place I believe everyone should visit at least once.

Thank you to everyone who make this museum possible.

Staff were knowledgeable about Alex Haley's professional work and family lineage. They presented facts in an enthusiastic and welcoming manner. Mr. Richard, Mr. Lawrence, and Ms. Elaura were super. They gave me nuggets of knowledge to share with others. I recommend this museum. It is a local gem on a back road in the small, dated town of Henning, TN. I drove through heavy rain and flooded roads to tour the museum. The experience was worth the drive! I am still in awe of Alex Haley's Boyhood home. This museum is to be praised.

We went with three different generations of our family and all three had a great time. (And all three generations went down the massive multi-story indoor slide!!!) The grounds are LOVELY and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day to explore all the outdoor exhibits. Our favorite indoor exhibit was the torture chamber! How fascinating!!! And the kids absolutely loved the water play on the highest level! I feel like this is a place you can visit over and over again and not see it all or have a new experience each time. If you're in the area: do give it a try! I bet you'll find something to enjoy.

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. Come on, people...give us some merch worthy of an American legend.

"Old Town Arkansas" is a walkthrough display of shops and offices from the early 1800's. This is a kid friendly place with a number of interactive displays and activities. If you don't expect this to be the MET, you will not be disappointed. Yes it is a small place but I really enjoyed the visit and will follow the website to see future exhibits.
