More information on Tennessee Welcome Center

This new Welcome Center, built on the shores of the Mississippi River in just the last few years, seeks to greet visitors to the city. Large bronze statues of Elvis Presley and B.B. King were moved here from their original locations on Beale Street (the Elvis statue was replaced with a replica) to honor these musical greats and offer photo opportunities for visitors. Brochures about local attractions, coupons for discounts at restaurants and hotels, and advice about local events can all be obtained here.
