RESPECT YOUR ELDERS

For those looking to learn more about Nashville’s musical history,

there is no shortage of museums, tours, and educational attrac-

tions. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, situated in

a large complex downtown, is one of the city’s musical crown

jewels. Here you’ll learn about icons like Johnny Cash and Patsy

Cline, while discovering newcomers like Maren Morris and Sturgill

Simpson, doing so via memorabilia, interactive exhibits, and a

packed schedule of special programming.

Nearby, dig deeper into the histories of Cash and Cline

at their respective museums, and stop in the George Jones

Museum, too, for a glimpse into The Possum’s life — and a

rooftop cocktail. The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum,

located near the state capitol, traces the history of recorded

music. The institution honors household names, like Jimi Hendrix

and Ricky Skaggs, as well as lesser-known studio players who

contributed to some of music’s most important songs and

albums. The venue also houses The Grammy Museum Gallery,

a special interactive exhibit that allows guests to learn about the

famed music awards.

Historic Jefferson Street in North Nashville showcases vibrant

murals and tributes to much of the talent that played the neigh-

borhood in the mid-century, including Hendrix and Little Richard.

Visit the Jefferson Street Sound museum to learn more about this

vital piece of Nashville’s musical history.
