I've seen some travelog shows about Memphis, but family trip; not into blues, like to stay safe
so what's to see for a family that's not into touristy stuff, but likes museums & historical sites; any civil war
or Amer. revolution sites?

thanks

The revolutionary war predates the city a bit. The Pink Palace Museum is nice and the National Civil Rights Museum may interest you. Nathan Bedford Forrest is buried here, but there isn't much to that park. Elmwood Cemetery puts on tours, it's a slick place.

Memphis at the time of the Revolution was way west of the frontier.

The zoo is awesome, just don't go on Tuesday. Sun studio is close to downtown, but away from the Memphis in May shitshow. The Victorian Village on Addams street is definitely worth visiting, the Fire Museum, the Peabody Ducks, I'd say Graceland but the part of town it's in is straight up third world.

Best thing to see in Mempho is "Welcome to Arkansas" or  "Welcome to Mississippi" signs.
