Book Hotels in Collierville, TN

Daniel J. Boorstin said, “The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sightseeing.'" But if you wander wisely, interesting things will inevitably find you. Next time you're ready for a good meandering, head east of Memphis and check into one of the Collierville hotels. This Tennessee town was founded on the railroad and steeped in Civil War history. Here there's learning and adventure galore for you, if you go about it the right way.
