We are located in the hometown of Anna Mae Bullock, you probably know her as Tina Turner. The “Queen of Rock” is remembered here with an exhibit inside the historic Flagg Grove School, her childhood school, filled with costumes, gold records and memorabilia donated by Tina.
West Tennessee is also home to the Country Blues sound and to pioneers such as “Sleepy” John Estes, Hammie Nixon and Yank Rachell. “Sleepy” John’s last home is on our grounds and open for visitors to peek inside.
Though our musical history is extensive, our region is rich in beauty and agriculture. The West Tennessee Cotton Museum helps visitors discover how cotton is produced and managed since the early 1800s. And don’t forget the Scenic Hatchie River and our three fresh water aquariums! This natural and last “wild” river in the lower Mississippi system is a wonder to explore. Some of Tennessee’s best hunting and fishing is here.
