Taylor Hatch helped her grandparents, Greg & Janice Hatch, choose Tennessee as their vacation destination. “I had written a paper about Elvis and I wanted to see Graceland,” said the 11-year-old from Urbandale, Iowa.

After visiting Memphis, the Hatch family was traveling to Nashville before heading home July 20, when they decided to stop at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center (WTDHC) in Brownsville, Tenn. The decision made Taylor this year’s 10,000^th person to visit the Center. She was greeted with cheering and applause and presented with a special gift bag full of West Tennessee items, including a Brownsville birdhouse and Tennessee Gold Sauce.
