Places To Visit In Nashville: 11 Unique Museums

Ashleigh Graham by Ashleigh Graham
Places To Visit In Nashville

Nashville is the country music capital; therefore, your first stop on a tour of this city’s museums would have to be the Country Music Hall of Fame. After you’ve engrossed yourself in costumes, photographs, instruments and memorabilia of the top country singers of this century and the last, you will be excited to know there’s even more to see. If you’re looking for some memorable places to visit in Nashville, the real surprise is the vast array of museums in the area that have nothing to do with country music.

Besides viewing country music’s story through the years, there is on-site dining for your dining pleasure. Country music changes and grows day today, but as Willie Nelson said, it stays the place where “people tell their life stories.”

Places To Visit In Nashville: Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum 

Here there are not just the country music talents, but all musicians. You’ll find the spirit of Jimmy Hendricks, but also names you may not be familiar with, who worked in the background but shaped the music world, just the same. You’ll see Chad Smith’s (Red Hot Chili Peppers) snare drum, Billy Sherril’s piano where he composed “The Most Beautiful Girl” and “Stand By Your Man,” Peter Drakes steal guitar heard on classics sung by Bob Dylan, George Harrison, George Jones and Tammy Wynette. If you are a music lover, this is one stop you can’t afford to miss while visiting Nashville.

Places To Visit In Nashville: Grand Ole Opry Museum

This museum will mesmerise you with the spirit of country music with stars such as Patsy Cline (they have a rendition of her living room) and George Jones. Besides enjoying a trip down memory lane, this music museum is great for the budget and the price of “free.” The Opry Museum includes fascinating history from early Opry days and exhibits of all the greats such as Minnie Pearl, Tex Ritter, Marty Robins, and much more.

Places To Visit In Nashville: Tennessee Museum 

It first opened on the Nashville public square by artist Ralph E. Earl back in 1817. Earl was a portrait artist who painted a famous life-size likeness of General Andrew Jackson. There are many travelling exhibits throughout the year. Still, the permanent ones include “The First Tennesseans,” “The Frontier,” “The Age of Jackson,” “The Civil War and Reconstruction,” “The New South”, and “Antebellum”, which was a period of prosperity for Tennessee between 1840 and 1860.

Places To Visit In Nashville: Travellers Rest Plantation and Museum 

Located in a historic house built in 1799, it was claimed by the National Society of the Colonial Dames as it was to be demolished. Today it is a museum, restored to its original style and charm and is a National Register property. Besides feeling like a time traveller as you view this plantation/museum, there are many travelling exhibits and events throughout the year such as the Holiday Decorating (join the staff to fill the house in old fashioned decoration), “All Through the House” (an early old fashioned Tennessee Christmas) or “Civil War” (a historical role-playing game).

Places To Visit In Nashville: Tennessee Central Railway Museum 

This museum is preserving Tennessee’s railroad heritage and offers visitors the chance to view historic railway equipment. If you like train rides, you can take a passenger excursion while seeing the beauty of Tennessee. The streamline coaches are air-conditioned and have huge picture windows. There’s always something unexpected going on like a train robbery, a murder mystery or visits from Santa or the Easter Bunny. It’s the kind of place you will want to plan a full-day visit.
