The National Ornamental Metal Museum is the only institution in the United States devoted exclusively to the preservation and promotion of fine metalwork. Unlike ordinary museums, it isn’t just a place where art is displayed; it’s a place where art is made. At the Metal Museum you can see works of art, see artists work, learn the craft and craft the art.  The Museum also has incredible outdoor event space, ongoing exhibits and classes open to the public.
 
 
Chickasaw Indian Mounds
Chickasaw Heritage Park
 
Across from the Metal Museum you’ll see some huge hills.  Those are actually mounds.  About 1600 AD, a thousand or so years before foreign explorers entered the region, the warlike Chickasaw Indians controlled the bluffs. These Indians came to be known as Mound builders, for these massive mounds they built that overlook the Mississippi River.  After the French and Indian War in 1763, England gained control of the bluffs although the area was Chickasaw by treaty. The Indians, French, English, Spanish and new "Americans" coexisted along the river trading and skirmishing until Tennessee became a U.S. territory in 1790, and then a state in 1796. Although this land legally belonged to the Chickasaw Indians, the new settlers would eventually take it over. In 1818 the Chickasaws relinquished their northern territory, including the land that would become the City of Memphis.

This unassuming restaurant, tucked inside the building of Earnestine & Hazels,is one of downtown’s best kept secrets.  If you like southern style cooking with a touch of flair, and a restaurant completely void of pretention, you must absolutely find yourself at the Five Spot.  The food is incredible and inexpensive to boot … grilled lamb chops, skillet shrimp and beef tenderloin with bordelaise sauce. Plus you can bring in your wine.  No reservations and you might have to wait a bit for one of the very few tables in this tiny restaurant.  But no worries … if you have to wait step down the hall to E&H for a beer, game of pool and tunes on the jukebox!
