Chicago to Memphis - Offbeat Suggestions?

[Steve Berger]

Folks - heading to find Elvis. Graceland. The Blues. Lots of BBQ. Fun and sun! July 4th weekend (driving from Chicago to Memphis, Friday to Tuesday).

I have all of the usual places to visit in Memphis so I was looking for suggestions on "offbeat" side trips along the way - or down there. Largest ball of wax paper, world's largest pez collection - that kind of stuff. Maybe even some serious things...who knows.

I love this site and the suggestions are always entertaining.

Thanks for helping us plan a fun time...

Take care

Steve

We plan on visiting the Civil Rights Museum. I'm looking forward to it! Check my thread (click here) for a few suggestions that others have made and let me know if you have any to add!
