Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

Less than a 1-mile walk from the honky-tonk music and flowing beer of Nashville’s Broadway sits the hallowed hall of country music legends. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is a treasure trove for fans both young and old, with artifacts like Elvis Presley’s 1960 gold Cadillac, Taylor Swift’s silver bejeweled guitar, handwritten lyrics by Luke Combs and an array of Dolly Parton’s over-the-top stage wardrobe featured in the museum’s permanent “Sing me Back Home: Folk Roots to the Present” exhibition. Learn about country music legends across the decades in the hall of fame, where names like Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Reba McEntire and Garth Brooks are honored. For an additional fee, visitors can step into the Historic RCA Studio B, the recording space known as the birthplace of the Nashville Sound. 222 Rep.
