Patsy Cline Crash Site Memorial in Camden Tennessee

We passed through Camden Tennessee, and wanted to make sure we saw the Patsy Cline Crash Site Memorial.

We actually had a bit of trouble finding the location.  We stopped and asked some locals for help, and they were great.  One very friendly lady decided to drive out to the spot too, and had us follow her!  We were very grateful!  I should say that I didn't check with roadsideamerica before going.  They do have clear directions.

There is a nice boulder memorial at the site where Patsy Cline's plane crashed.  Nearby there is a small sheltered area with articles about Patsy and the crash.  A small mailbox is there if you would like to leave a note too.

The area is very secluded, and other than the local lady who helped us find it, no one else was around.

It is a bit steep of a walk, but it is short and pleasant.  It was nice being there.

It was also nice listening to a Patsy Cline play list as we visited Camden.

A beautiful memorial.
Thank you for sharing photos. I'm unable to visit from Canada.
Rest in Peace, Patsy.
