Prep for Your Memphis Visit

While Elvis Presley and his Graceland mansion may come to mind at the mention of Memphis, the city has been a hub of commerce and social grace since its founding in 1819. A venture into history shows Europeans weren't the first settlers in the area—Native Americans settled on the bluffs more than 10,000 years ago. The city's rich heritage spans centuries, and your family can spend days or weeks exploring it by visiting the city's network of museums known as the Pink Palace Family of Museums.
