  • History Lives Here
    History Lives Here A Five-Day Tour of Tennessee’s Historic Homes With a rich tapestry of American heritage, Tennessee's historical stomping grounds are sure to enlighten you. Journey down our historical roads and trails for a stroll into Tennessee's legendary past. Tour Tennessee's heritage towns, and immerse yourself in the state's diverse past from Davy Crockett to Elvis Presley. Day One Start with Memphis’ most famous attraction, Elvis Presley's Graceland. Touring Graceland is a one-of-a-kind experience that will lead you on Elvis's fascinating journey to superstardom. You and your group will experience the cultural changes that led to the birth of Rock 'n' Roll and see, first-hand, how Elvis became the most celebrated entertainer in the world. Next stop is Davies Manor Plantation, located on a 640-acre Revolutionary War land grant, the oldest fully furnished log house in Memphis. A 'must' in Memphis is to enjoy lunch on your own down on Beale Street at any one of the many delicious eateries famous for barbeque! The Memphis Pink Palace Museum was originally designed to be the dream home of wealthy entrepreneur Clarence Saunders. It’s name comes from the mansion's ornate pink Georgian marble facade. Saunders, an entrepreneur and founder of Piggly Wiggly, began building the house in the early 1920's but, due to a legal dispute with the New York Exchange, he had to declare bankruptcy and the unfinished building was eventually given to the city in the late 1920’s for use as a museum.

Over the years, it is slowly chipping away as a result of cars parking against it, weather, and the normal student traffic heading in and out of the buildings. For 15 years, I have annually found an excuse not to replace it. Parking lot resurfacing, renovations, and upcoming construction have been the reasons to not waste money on a “short-term” project. With the launch of our Give Back Home Campaign for Christian Brothers High School, we look to position CBHS and the Brothers to serve Memphis, deliver on our Lasallian mission and to remain a leader in a competitive private school landscape for years to come. This campaign is providing for academic programs and resources, new and updated facilities and resources to be shared by current and future students. With the completion of the first and silent phase of our Give Back Home Campaign, we saw the renovation to Heffernan Hall and our Brothers Residence, the construction of McEniry Hall to serve our STEMM program, and the capstone of the first phase in the Brothers Development Center that provides a first-class facility for our student- athletes.
