Literature and history come alive at the modest boyhood home of Alex Haley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Roots. This museum, praised by the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development and the Memphis Flyer, offers insight into African American history and genealogy, with moving exhibits and knowledgeable guides. A visit here pairs well with exploring the rural charm of Lauderdale County’s farm stands and scenic backroads.
