This is one of the BEST tours we had in the Nashville area. Learned so much on this self guided tour. There were 10 of us ranging from age 33 to 75 and everyone enjoyed it.

This was someplace I always wanted to see. We had the opportunity so we took it. It was cool seeing the many artifacts from Country legends. I was surprised at how short Loretta Lynn was.
