Memphis, TennesseePerched on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi, Memphis has been welcoming steamboats since before the Civil War. Today the city abounds with Americana, from legendary Beale Street to Elvis Presley’s Graceland.

Ashport Landing, TennesseeFort Pillow, now a National Historic Landmark, was the site of a brutal massacre of Union troops by Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Here you will learn the important role Fort Pillow played in securing the Mississippi River as a prized passage throughout the Civil War.

New Madrid, MissouriThe oldest city west of the Mississippi, New Madrid is famous for enduring powerful earthquakes in the early 1800s and for the Civil War’s Battle of Island Number Ten. Boasting a storied past, this Missouri city retains the Southern charm it’s held since the last days of the 1700s.

Paducah, KentuckyFounded by William Clark following his westward journey with Meriwether Lewis, Paducah bears the name of an Indian chief and the legacy of a Union supply hub on the Tennessee and Ohio Rivers during the Civil War. Today it’s driven by the arts: wall murals adorn a massive downtown floodwall, and the refurbished Hotel Metropolitan salutes legends who played here like Ellington, Armstrong, and Calloway.

Dover, TennesseeBeautiful scenery awaits and rich Civil War history comes alive at Fort Donelson National Battlefield and Cemetery, site of one of the first significant Union victories.

Clarksville, TennesseeSituated near the confluence of the Cumberland and Red Rivers, Clarksville is renowned for its lively downtown district where there are many local boutiques, breweries, and restaurants, as well as the landmark Roxy Regional Theater and beautiful Customs House Museum.

Nashville, TennesseeThe Country Music Capital of the World shines with vibrant restaurants and honkytonks, charming specialty shops, iconic entertainment venues, and legendary nightlife.
