A guitarist, vocalist and songwriter with a very high-pitched “crying” vocal style, Estes earned his nickname “Sleepy” from his habit of falling asleep during performances.

These machines remove debris such as leaves, limb particles, insects and dirt from the cotton fibers. Then it goes to the gin stand where circular saws with small, sharp teeth pluck the cotton fiber from the seeds. The ginned fiber, now called lint, travels to huge presses where it is made into dense blocks, wrapped in burlap and contained in steel bands to create what we recognize as a cotton bale. When a bale of cotton arrives from the field it weighs approximately 1500 lbs. After the ginning process it will weigh about 500 lbs. This exhibit also features a cotton field and a number of tractors and machinery used during the farming process. The exhibit was built from scratch by Darryl Cox of Henderson TN. It is a 1/16th scale model of an actual gin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605895789019-WR8YAMKFCHBXE7ZM1R2Q/baskets.jpg West Tennessee Cotton - White Oak Basket Collection These baskets are a part of the Newman Walpole collection and are made from white oak trees. Around the farm, baskets like these carried corn, eggs, purchases from the market, food for picnics, or anything else that needed to be moved. To get the strips, called “splits,” to weave into a basket, the basket maker has to cut a straight section of trunk without branches. The basket maker splits it into 8ths and then carefully splits off long pieces lengthwise, along the grain. They keep splitting them until they’re as thin enough to be woven into a basket. https://www.westtnheritage.com/west-tennessee-music daily 0.75 2024-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605891986180-BKYVL4BNHOB7XGGGOZWM/jazzii-in-studio-scaled.jpg West Tennessee Music Jazzii A. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605892011613-187N1817T79WYWN4WIJX/Brett-Scallions.jpg West Tennessee Music Brett Scallions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/e1b6c1ff-423f-4b8e-8786-6c10e201555a/ValerieJune_Phase2_PublicityPhoto_Credit_JacobBlickenstaff_General4.jpeg West Tennessee Music Valerie June https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605889146487-2FFQ95Y1LLGD5I3BJT8F/IMG_6840.JPEG West Tennessee Music TG Sheppard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605891954377-8LYVIS49VG1UBI27ZTUM/billy-weir.jpg West Tennessee Music Billy Weir https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605889113913-SMHL95T5YN9PGWLDLWP8/IMG_6839.JPEG West Tennessee Music Denise LaSalle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605889022118-W0IR8UY4XYWOHHDUUXKE/IMG_6832.JPEG West Tennessee Music Alex Harvey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605888839608-C1U1UJQOPT8PI65PVRXL/IMG_6831.JPEG West Tennessee Music Eddy Arnold https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605889083732-3BAE5F2V6DGJR19K0VN6/IMG_6837.JPEG West Tennessee Music Clay Evans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605889173985-8EO0QNAMVV4KXRCX86NB/IMG_6843.JPEG West Tennessee Music Carl Perkins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605887114415-7C3Z9DNUNMMB01RLRKBV/West-TN-Music.jpg West Tennessee Music Original art of "Brownsville Bluesmen" by local artist Mark Kendrick. https://www.westtnheritage.com/hatchie-river-room daily 0.75 2020-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605897693513-ME7UXL1Y98QWYRRK9Y9P/hatchie+room+%282%29.jpg Hatchie River Room - Inside the Hatchie Room Alligator snapping turtles are the largest freshwater turtles in North America and one of the largest turtles in the world. While the closely related common snapping turtle rarely exceeds 40 lbs., the alligator snapper can reach a hefty 240 lbs. It is believed they live between 80 to 120 years in the wild. You’ll also see fresh water aquariums filled with fish native to the river, such as catfish and bream. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605897909861-3HOZOQTU5JZZDKCGEHXD/hatchie.jpg Hatchie River Room The Scenic Hatchie River The Hatchie River and unique floodplain that surrounds it was once the hunting grounds of the Chickasaw Indians.

The “Queen of Rock” is remembered here with an exhibit inside the historic Flagg Grove School, her childhood school, filled with costumes, gold records and memorabilia donated by Tina. West Tennessee is also home to the Country Blues sound and to pioneers such as “Sleepy” John Estes, Hammie Nixon and Yank Rachell. “Sleepy” John’s last home is on our grounds and open for visitors to peek inside. Though our musical history is extensive, our region is rich in beauty and agriculture. The West Tennessee Cotton Museum helps visitors discover how cotton is produced and managed since the early 1800s. And don’t forget the Scenic Hatchie River and our three fresh water aquariums! This natural and last “wild” river in the lower Mississippi system is a wonder to explore. Some of Tennessee’s best hunting and fishing is here. https://www.westtnheritage.com/visit daily 0.75 2025-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605907889286-Q5OORU4AHQI5IZUMN7EV/Self-Tour.png Plan a Visit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605908169608-JNGOC9SLCL2U25W1B1JR/Guided-Tour-150x150.png Plan a Visit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605908247366-KPETBCNLN4V6BRRKPVLQ/Group-Tours-215x300.png Plan a Visit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605908468407-EFAS30L80WI9RU4EHYSC/Student-Tour-204x300.png Plan a Visit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605908692543-DDLFSKEEXEZUNX643UJQ/tcma-logo.jpg Plan a Visit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605908797035-FUYEQ2GTY528FV9F217F/ECN-072014_MDW_ABA-Marketplace-logo-300x161.jpg Plan a Visit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/66ae94c4-66ac-430c-b006-011796034cb4/Brownsville_Logo_Color+-+small.png Plan a Visit - Make it stand out In the heart of Tennessee's Delta, you'll find soul is more than just a music genre - it's a way of life. https://www.westtnheritage.com/donate daily 0.75 2025-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/1605907101957-B42NBOJUGBXTDJ5BKGE2/Plan-A-Visit-e1487719682941.jpg Donate https://www.westtnheritage.com/blackfarmexperience daily 0.75 2025-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/e691760b-049a-4e59-a043-44475684da25/TBFE+Logo+-+small.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/7b6c7a00-4a38-45e1-900b-e1440e858f06/Arlisa+and+William+-+Brownsville+TN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/7b3375d8-bfc6-44f5-9047-b5280b28aa19/Black+Farm+stories+-+Pender https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/4b46536d-b206-4bdd-b573-ffacdf2e21f6/Crowds+enjoy+exhibit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/81101f6f-4684-40c3-9d1c-9ec840a5958d/Farmers+greeting+each+other https://www.westtnheritage.com/nutbush daily 0.75 2025-11-18 https://www.westtnheritage.com/nutbush/p/nutbush-tours monthly 0.5 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa41b458ac813515999f792/3da833dc-db6a-49ae-94a4-6d5ce070a285/Tina+86th+FLYER.jpg Nutbush - Nutbush Tours - Tina 86th FLYER.jpg
