You can visit this exhibit any day of the week in the beautiful Centennial Park.

Whether you like country music or just know a few songs from Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift you heard on the radio, it’s hard to attend a show at The Grand Ole Opry without getting a bit emotional. It’s tied to the history of the country as much as the history of country music. To get the full experience, book a behind-the-scenes tour that you can enjoy during intermission.
