Proud to one be of the Top 10 Attractions in the state, Casey Jones Village has a long history of making that Interstate drive a lot more fun knowing great food and great fun await you at Casey Jones. Located only an hour east of Memphis and 120 miles from Nashville, Casey Jones Village is just seconds off Interstate 40 at Exit 80A. We were proud to be listed in Southern Living magazine last fall as one of the Top 10 stops along I-40 between Dallas and Knoxville.

At Brooks Shaw & Son’s Old Country Store we serve our world famous buffets three times daily with Southern favorites such as fried green tomatoes, barbeque, hand battered Southern fried chicken, catfish, Tennessee country ham, turnip greens and homemade cracklin’ cornbread cooked fresh off the griddle. There is also an extensive soup and salad bar and delicious homemade desserts. Whether for breakfast, lunch or supper you are sure to enjoy the incredible buffet or menu that awaits you daily at the Old Country Store Restaurant....proud to be voted Jackson's favorite restaurant the past four years in a row!

The Gift Shoppe at the Old Country Store is filled with Southern charm. Our guests also love the Old Country Store "To Go" Takeout & Neighborhood Market. With designated parking and a special side entrance, it's easy to stop in and pick up some great Southern favorites or sit a spell if you have time at our charming antique counter.

You can also sit and play checkers or enjoy an old fashioned ice cream treat in the authentically recreated 1890’s Ice Cream Parlor and Fudge Shoppe. Don’t forget to ask for your free sample of fudge. Hard to find candies from the past can be found in the Confectionery Shoppe too along with jams and jellies, honey and sorghum. We are proud to specialize in products made in Tennessee.

On the Square in the Village you will find the original home of Casey Jones, America’s railroad legend. Casey Jones died at the throttle in a heroic effort to save the people on his train in April of 1900. Made legendary with “The Ballad of Casey Jones”, he is immortalized in Casey Jones Village with a train museum in his original 1890’s home. The Casey Jones Train Store is the official gift shop for the museum with unique train gifts for kids of all ages. It also features a selection of Thomas the Tank Engine items plus Lionel trains and Casey Jones gifts and souvenirs. You can even climb aboard a 130 ton locomotive similar to Casey Jones’ #382 and ring the bell just like Casey.

Added to Casey Jones Village in the late 1990's is a real treasure…the Casey Jones Village Amphitheatre. Nestled in the woods behind the Old Country Store, it is a beautiful venue for concerts, festivals, family and corporate picnics and more with seating for 700 under a covered pavilion and up to 2,500 on the grounds.

Round out your trip to Casey Jones Village with a casual stroll around the Shoppes at Casey Jones Village. Located adjacent to the Old Country Store and the Historic Casey Jones Home and Railroad Museum, it's a great way to take home something special. Be sure to visit the Wildlife in Wood Studio located in the gazebo in the center of the Village where master craftsman and wood carver Dee Moss creates one of a kind pieces of art with wood. Wildlife gifts made by the resident artist and prints are available in the studio too.

There's also a tourism information center in the gazebo and in the foyer of the Old Country Store with brochures and pamphlets about beautiful Southwest Tennessee. The tourism association website is www.tast.tn.org .
