A Tennessee Wedding

Southwest Region

Get a taste of the variety of Southwest Tennessee when you visit Jackson and its surrounding area. Start in Historic Downtown Jackson, where you will find theater, live music, tours and great food. If you are a train buff, Jackson is the place to be. Check out the Casey Jones Home & Railroad Museum and the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Depot & Railroad Museum. Jackson has plenty of music to share, from the signature blues event, the Shannon Street Blues & Heritage Festival every June to the Rockabilly Museum. Be sure to get outdoors and visit the Cypress Grove Nature Park, or head inside to cool off in the Carnegie Center for Arts & History.

Nature lovers have plenty to choose from in Southwest Tennessee, starting with Pickwick Landing State Park and the Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge.

If history is your thing, you will enjoy touring the many historic towns, such as Bolivar, where the historic district walking tour gives you a look at beautifully restored downtown buildings. In Brownsville, learn about local history at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center. A treat for sportsmen is the National Bird Dog Museum in Grand Junction.
