Today, we rode from Jackson, Tennessee, on Highway 72 through Iuka and 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, 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 features artists such as Carl Perkins, Tina Turner, Eddy Arnold, Sonny Boy Williamson, Maybelle, Isaac Tigrett, and Jonathan Singleton.
Many items that were once in the Rock-A-Billy Museum are now housed here.
This museum also houses a gold statue of Elvis Presley and large posters of Brenda Lee, Johnny Cash, Elvis, and many others.
