Pringles Park is the home to the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx. They are the AA affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. There is nothing better than sitting in the cheap seats and pulling for the Jaxx on a cool spring/summer evening at teh Big Chip.

In front of the Casey Jones' museum.

Casey Jones Village is a fun little hamlet inside Jackson and just off of I-40 dedicated to the great conductor. His house and the railroad museum are there. They were very entertaining and if we had not stopped at Casey Jones Village, Jade and I would never have made it to the Lost Sea in Sweetwater, TN. In addition to general state park tourist things, the site includes a restaurant and mini-strip mall type place.

At Casey Jones Village (built up around Casey Jones' House site), there is a wonderful Cracker Barrel-esque restaurant dedicated to Casey Jones. While we didn't eat there (it was 3pm, not meal time), the atmosphere was very fun.
Has all sorts of Casey Jones souvenirs.

While we had a good time there, it was because we entertained ourselves to make the best out of a boring situation. If you want strong content, Casey Jones Village is not encouraged.
