Road trip through North Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee – where to stop?
We’re driving from Dallas across north Louisiana into Mississippi then following Route 61 up to Memphis. Staying in Memphis for a couple of nights then driving from Memphis to Nashville, where again we’ll stay for 2 nights.
Need ideas of where to stop along the way, places to stay, things to do etc. All suggestions welcome – coming over from Scotland, UK so want to make the most of our time! Thanks
Well, like a lot of America, that’s kinda empty country. You’ll be going through a lot of forest land, cotton fields and rice paddies. There are a few interesting towns that are on your route:
Shreveport, Louisiana — Old riverport town; decent historic downtown with some good restaurants and bars. I haven’t been there in about 15 years, so it may have changed. http://www.shreveport-bossier.org/
Vicksburg, Mississippi — American Civil War battleground with some interesting cemeteries and museums about that war. http://www.vicksburgcvb.org/
Memphis, Tennessee — You’ve probably already got an agenda for what to do here. Don’t forget Elvis Presley’s house, Graceland. It’s expensive and touristy, but interesting in a kitsch way. http://www.elvis.com/graceland/
Natchez Trace State Park, Tennessee — http://www.state.tn.us/environment/parks/NatchezTrace/index.shtml
Welcome to the US, have a good time. Don’t forget to try the barbecue!
