Sightseeing tour in morning (tbd)
Country Music Hall Of Fame Tour
The afternoon's feature is a visit to the Country Music Hall of Fame, the keeper of priceless Country Music Treasures. Your self-guided tour is
a walk through history, one that leads you from the earliest folk traditions to the music that thrills millions of fans today. Every tour ends in the
Hall of Fame Rotunda, the never-ending circle, and storied home of the inductees.
Free Evening for Honky Tonking
Then the rest of your evening is free to enjoy the shows as you wish. Broadway Ave cuts through the heart of Downtown Nashville, from 1st
Ave and the Tennessee River to the Ryman Auditorium on 5th. You will find many shops and boutiques such as Ernest Tubb's Record
Store, Betty Boots and several Western Shops. Plus, attractions like the Country Music Hall of Fame and Musicians Hall of Fame. But the
real reason you are here are the showbars. Choose from Honky Tonk Central, Robert's Western World, The Stage, Luke Bryan's 32 Bridge,
Whiskey Bent, Legends Corner, AJ's Good Time Bar (AJ is Alan Jackson), Jason Aldean's Kitchen & Rooftop Bar, Dierks Bentley's Whiskey
Row and several more.
Dinner at Drury Inn or Local Restaurant
Following the Hall of Fame you are on own the rest of the day. The Drury Inn has a Happy Hour at 5:30 with free food and drinks. You can
make a light meal of this, or you can visit any one of dozens of nearby restaurants most of whom have live music.
Showbars on Broadway
Nashville's Broadway Ave is packed with Southern eateries, honky-tonk bars with live music, and long-standing stores selling western wear
or vintage vinyl. Photos and memorabilia document the careers of iconic country singers at the Johnny Cash Museum and the Patsy Cline
Museum. Known as the “Mother Church of Country Music,” the 1890s Ryman Auditorium hosts varied concerts and backstage tours.
One of our favorites is Nudies. Nuta Kotlyarenko, known professionally as Nudie Cohn was an American tailor who designed rhinestonecovered
"Nudie Suits" and other elaborate outfits for megastars like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and Elvis Presley. His honky tonk is filled
with memorabilia and also brags about the longest bar in Nashville—it’s 100 feet long and decorated with thousands of silver dollars.
Many of the showbars in "The District" are much more than you would imagine. There are rooftop bars, three and four story showplaces with
music on every floor, full scale restaurants and/or sandwich shops as well as souvenir stores. Its as much, if not more, music and fun than
any Dancin' Fool or Music Fan can handle.

Wed, Sep 28

rapid change in American life as we moved from an agrarian to an industrialized society.
A Catered Dinner is also included with your visit this evening.
