About

It all started back in 1965. An antique collection became an antique museum that grew into a Southern restaurant. It's one of the few places where you can really experience the South you grew up in or imagined.

We are proud that Brooks Shaw & Son's Old Country Store is one of the Top 10 Attractions in the state of Tennessee. 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 listed in Southern Living magazine as one of the Top 10 stops along Interstate 40 between Dallas and Knoxville. We love our hometown folks and the travelers from around the world. We love giving you a place to relax and enjoy our atmosphere and friendly food and service.

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. We have an extensive soup and salad bar and delicious homemade desserts. Our breakfast buffets are just like Grandma's. We are proud to be voted Jackson's favorite restaurant the past several years in a row!

The Gift Shoppe at the Old Country Store is filled with pure Southern charm with thousands of items to choose from. Our guests also love the Old Country Store "To Go" Takeout. 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 antique lunch counter. Over Labor Day 2009 we proudly opened the Wellwood Country Store. It is connected by a breezeway to the Old Country Store it inspired and is the country store from the Wellwood community where Brooks Shaw worked as a young boy. It has been lovingly restored and will bring back wonderful childhood memories for many of you.

You can also 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, local honey and local sorghum. We are very 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. Come tour the beautiful all new 8,000 square foot Train Station expansion that opened June 19th, 2009.

The doors opened Music Highway Crossroads on May 26th, 2011. It's a celebration of the legendary Tennessee Delta music that literally changed the world. May of 2012 we proudly welcomed the opening of Providence House, our new events venue. Built in 1837, this beautiful antebellum home will be the site of many memorable weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinner and private parties. Learn more at www.facebook.com/providencehousejackson.

Nestled in the woods behind the Old Country Store is the Casey Jones Village Amphitheatre ~ a beautiful venue for concerts, festivals, family and corporate picnics and more with seating for 700 under a covered pavilion and up to 2,000 on the grounds.

Round out your trip to Casey Jones Village with a casual stroll through the Shoppes at Casey Jones Village. Located adjacent to the Old Country Store and the Historic Casey Jones Home & Railroad Museum, it's a great way to take home something special. Proudly, for many years, Casey Jones Village has been the home of American Family Radio for West Tennessee. There's also a tourist information center in the lobby of Casey Jones Museum with brochures about things to do in Jackson, beautiful Southwest Tennessee and throughout our wonderful State.

Whether you are headed to points east or west in Tennessee or whether you live in our area, Casey Jones Village makes the perfect destination for you and your family. Come discover Casey Jones Village and historic Jackson, Tennessee!

We invite you to watch a five minute video featuring Anne Shaw, my Mother and our Chairman of the Board Emeritus, telling the story and the history of the Old Country Store and Casey Jones Village including plans for the future. The State of Tennessee department of Economic and Community Development announced in 2011 that we were the overall State winner of the second annual statewide entrepreneurship video competition – “What Makes You an Entrepreneur?” We are so honored!
