• Elmwood Cemetery - The final resting place of singer Ma Rainey II. Her father, a pastor, prohibited her from singing, prompting Ma Rainey to run away and join a traveling circus-like show. She served as both the fortune teller and a ragtime performer on Beale Street.
• Stax Museum of American Soul Music - Approaching on our right at the end of this road is the Stax Museum of American Soul Music.

• Royal Studios - This historic recording studio originally opened as a movie theater for silent films in 1915. It was transformed into the Royal Recording Studio in 1957, becoming the official studio for Hi Records.
• Graceland - In 1956, Elvis and his family resided on a relatively quiet street—until his fans discovered it. Soon, they gathered outside his home, eager to catch a glimpse of their beloved rockstar. While Elvis’s neighbors had no personal issues with him, they were troubled by the crowds of enthusiastic fans parked on their street.
