📍 Destination Overview
Memphis, Tennessee's largest city on the Mississippi, is the birthplace of blues, rock and soul. Beale Street, "Home of the Blues," glows with neon and live music where "The Memphis Blues" was born. Graceland, Elvis's home, Sun Studio, and the Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel tell of a deep musical and moral history, while Memphis barbecue is a must.
