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.

Along with the General Lee of course! Highly recommended for folks in Jackson!!

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

I learned some interesting facts I wasn't aware of before. I definitely will return when I have more time to read everything.

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.

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 did the 3-d movies, earthquake room and observatory. Imo the observatory wasn't worth an extra charge, but that's just my opinion. The movies & earthquake were worth every penny.

It's a great place for families, highly recommend taking yours there when nearby.

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.

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.

There is no official admission fee, a meager $2 donation per visitor is suggested on an acrylic box at the entrance. Housing a small collection of regional artifacts; informative displays about the life and everyday items of the indigenous people. A reconstructed Mastodon (a replica from a cast) stands in the entryway, a number of real fossils are on display. "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.
