Re: “Elvis Presley's Mystery Train (Station)”
Hello Everybody!
Fascinating stuff. For the love of all that is holy — can anyone produce a picture of the train station itself? I have wondered for years what the old depot at White's Station looked like and where it stood exactly.
Might the history dept at the Central :ibrary have some pics?
Plus — does anyone know where Colonel Eppy White's plantation house stood in the White's Station area?
I would be very grateful...

Re: “Poplar and Perkins in 1951 - From the Air!”
Yes, I too have heard that the Perkins Plantation house was where Christ Methodist Church stands. Until recently, there was a small house behind the church that might have been part of the farm/grounds. I have also heard — maybe it was Memphis Memoirs on WKNO — that Audubon Park and the old Colonial Country Club (now Target, etc.) land was part of the Snowden and Heard properties.
1) As for Eudora Station — might that explain why city maps show a public street running south from Poplar Avenue to the tracks behind Schnuck's? That street has had me wondering for years!
2) Does anyone know about General Sherman drilling Yankee troops where White Station High School now stands?
Many thanks!
