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.
