Texas to Kentucky

We have our first trip planned going to Fort Campbell Kentucky to see our Grand Daughter.

Staying 3 days Atlanta State Park close to Texarkana,2 days Shelby State Park north of Memphis,4 days in Bumpus Mills close to Clarksville Tenn, couple of days close to Tupelo Ms. Then couple of days close to Meridian MS. Then Natchez State Park then back home.

Any suggestions for things to see along this route?

Best thing of all I have convinced DW to leave stupid cell phone in truck and just check it once in a while! (we will see how that goes:R)

    We will be on the Natchez trace near Tupelo and then again in Natchez. We don't want to drive the whole way on the trace. Sounds good about the Cemetery and homes in Natchez we will check those out!

    Thanks for the heads up!

    will you be taking the Natchez Trace Parkway? It's beautiful and lots of places to stop and read about the Natchez Trace along the way.
    In Natchez we enjoyed driving around and seeing the Victorian homes and the cemetery. They have night tours of the cemetery with people in period dress. Near Natchez MS in Ferriday LA there is the Frogmore Cotton Plantation and Gins. From Clarksville TN you might want to drive to Bowling Green KY and visit the Corvette Museum and factory.
