See the Fall Colors in Tennessee October 9-16

The Commander Club will join our friends at the Crawford County Bank on a spectacular fall foliage tour on theTennessee Valley Railroad. 

We'll board our coach in St. Louis with our first stop in Memphis Tennessee where we'll tour Elvis Presley's Graceland and visit the Private Presley and Sincerely Elvis Museums.  While we're in Memphis we'll take a historical tour of the city, including the Peabody Duck March at the Peabody Hotel, the Danny Thomas Tribute, Sun Records Studio and Beale Street.  In the afternoon, we'll visit the Memphis Rock N Soul Museum, then get a behind-the-scenes look at the Gibson Guitar manufacturing facility.  Our last stop in Memphis includes a visit to the National Civil Rights Museum.

On to Chattanooga.  Chattanooga is home to the Tennessee Valley Railroad.  We'll visit the Rock City Gardens perched high atop Lookout Mountain.  The view is spectacular!  All aboard the Autumn Leaf Special, powerd by a mighty steam locomotive.  We'll enjoy lunch in the 1924 dining car, and have an opportunity to stroll Summerville before our train is rotated on a historic turntable for our return trip.

After our scenic train ride, we'll travel on to Nashville, where we'll stop at the Ryman Auditorium, original home of the Grand Ole' Opry.  In the afternoon, we'll visit Country Music Hall of Fame.  In the evening, we'll stroll through the beautiful Opryland Hotel and take a Delta Riverboat Ride on their indoor river.

On the way home, we'll stop again in St. Lous and visit the Missouri Botanical Gardens.
