Jackson is situated halfway between Memphis and Nashville, making it a great place to visit as you explore Tennessee’s famous Civil War and music heritage. You can get an insight into Jackson’s history and role in the Civil War by visiting the Lane College Historic District, Parker’s Crossroads Battlefield, Britton Lane Battlefield, and Riverside Cemetery.

For a lighter note you can visit the Casey Jones House and Train Museum and the Carnegie Center for Arts and History. For some outdoor fun, you can go hiking and wildlife watching at Cypress Grove Nature Park, visit Century Farm Winery and Vineyards, or take the kids to enjoy the corn maze, hayrides, and pumpkins at the Donnell Century Farm Adventure.
