Jackson, Tennessee - Casey Jones Village

I remember stopping at Casey Jones Village almost 30 years ago. It's roughly the same now as it was then, except it looks a bit rundown. It has an old country store, 1800s ice cream and fudge shop with an old time candy store plus a restaurant with a buffet. There is also a museum that pays tribute to Casey Jones. Jones was a famous local railroad hero who died heroically more than a hundred years ago while saving the lives of everyone on his train. They have a museum in his honor with real train cars. There is also a hotel next door that has rail cars that have been turned into rooms. [Chris Kee, 07/23/2009]
