NASHVILLE TENNESSEE!
Country music's home is based in the heart of
Nashville. But even if you are not a country lover, there's
still plenty to do. Museums, sporting events, history,
it's all here. So come and pack up your things and take
a ride to Music City USA.
First stop, Ryman Auditorium. The history of
Nashville starts at the Ryman which began as a church
and then later became the music hall for entertainers
such as Roy Acuff, Dolly Parton and Hank Williams. Now,
the Grand Ole Opry at Opryland has taken over where Ryman
left off. The Opry is home to the "world's longest-running
live radio program", which got its roots at Ryman.
And just around the corner is the Country Music Hall of
Fame and Museum. Nashville's "Music Row" is
home to dozens of recording studios, music company offices
and songwriting houses.
Other
Nashville attractions include a replica of the ancient
Greek Parthenon, inside which are paintings of from
the 19th and 20th century and numerous mansions on display.
Visitors enjoy Andrew Jackson's "The Hermitage",
Belle Meade and Belmont Mansion, to name just a few.
Vanderbilt University's campus is located in
the heart of Nashville, and numerous other schools and
colleges can be found in the greater Nashville-Davidson
County metro area.
Nashville is home to the Tennessee Titans of
the National Football League; the Titans' renovated
Adelphia Field claims to be the "loudest open stadium
in the NFL" during the football season.
Whether touring the country music sites or
enjoying the laid-back charm of the delightful state
capital, visitors to Nashville are in for a "down-home
good ole time".
