Tips from the community
Victorian Village is a quaint, residential neighborhood on the outskirts of downtown Memphis. This stretch is unique as it dates back to the 1860’s and has some of the oldest structures in the city (like the Magevney House!). Choose a sunny day to stroll the village and peak into some of the gorgeous colonial structures lining the road. Victorian Village was once home to some of the city’s most wealthy founding families, and today many of the homes have been converted into museums to take a glimpse back in history.
