2 days in Memphis Itinerary

The largest city on the Mississippi River, Memphis bills itself as both the "Birthplace of Rock" and "Home of the Blues." With such a rich musical heritage, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Elvis Presley chose to live in Memphis during his later years.

Start off your visit on the 1st (Fri): see the interesting displays at Stax Museum of American Soul Music. Keep things going the next day: contemplate the long history of Slave Haven / Burkle Estate Museum.
