2023 Aug 18, Day Trip to Jackson, Tennessee

Today, we rode from Jackson, Tennessee, on Highway 72 through Iuka, Burnsville, to Corinth, Mississippi. In Corinth, we took Highway 45 through several small towns to Jacksonville, Tennessee. 

We stopped at Murphy's in Jackson, Tennessee, to fill up with gas, which cost $42.75 at 10:47 A.M.

Our first stop was at the Carnegie Legends, "The Legends of Tennessee Music Museum."

This museum is in the old Carnegie Library, where Carl Perkins played his first guitar as a boy. 

This museum houses such artists as Carl Perkins, Tina Turner, Eddy Arnold, Sonny Boy Williamson, Maybelle, Isaac Tigrett, and Jonathan Singleton. 

Many items once in the Rock-A-Billy Museum are now housed in this museum. 

This museum also houses the gold statue of Elvis Presley and the large poster pictures of Brenda Lee, Johnny Cash, Elvis, and many others.
