Historic Memphis Walking Tour
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 03/27/2021
This two-hour walking tour of Memphis explores the city's rich history at a fun and leisurely pace. Memphis has always had sometihng of a dual character or split personality: at once a gracious old Southern city of riverboats and cotton money, as well as a rowdy river town of roughnecks, gangsters and gamblers.
