Believed to have existed since the early 18th Century, Davies Manor is one of the oldest properties of Memphis. Surrounded by 30 acres (12 hectares) of luxuriant land that's home to beautiful gardens and archaic outbuildings, this log home served as a plantation centuries ago. It is also believed that the house was occupied by African-Americans slaves during the Civil War. Today, this iconic address is open to visitors who wish to learn about its history and appreciate manor's picturesque setting. Tours are organized throughout the property, and all of the contents of the house are neatly marked for your convenience. While touring the farms, be ready to catch glimpses of deer families.
Memphis is the home to many music legends. In the 1950s Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash rose to fame along with “the Killer,” Jerry Lee Lewis. Lewis still resides in Nesbit, Mississippi, just south of Memphis, and his home/ranch is open to the public and his many fans. See the many gold records he has earned, his pianos, along with his collection of classic automobiles, and do not miss the piano-shaped pool.
