Local Attractions by Ramada Smyrna outside nashville Tennessee

Activities Nashville Tennessee: The dominance of country music tends to overshadow the fact that Nashville is also a hotbed of many other types of art and culture. There is the Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera, Nashville Symphony Orchestra and Nashville Chamber Orchestra, not to mention many theaters, music schools, art galleries and dance venues. Indeed, many musicians lead dual lives, switching from country to classical with ease.

Ryman Auditorium and Museum : Constructed in 1892, the now-restored Ryman Auditorium was home to the Grand Ole Opry from 1943-1974. Today, it hosts performers from every genre imaginable. Indeed, the list of past performers reads like a history of American popular culture: Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Isadora Duncan, Harry Connick Jr., Booker T. Washington, Neil Diamond, Nelly Furtado, New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Harpo Marx, Patsy Cline, the Indigo Girls, Erykah Badu, and Dolly Parton have all graced the stage. The Opry still offers shows on occasion, too. A self-guided tour is a must for any music lover!

Grand Ole OpryHOW-DEE! If you're a country music fan, you have just found heaven. Watch history in the making as you enjoy the nation's longest running radio program, "The Grand Ole Opry." See some of country music's up-and-coming stars perform nightly. You might get a surprise as well, as some of country music's greats pop in and out without being scheduled ahead of time. If you have the chance, visit the museum located in the Opry Plaza. Here, you'll find several interactive exhibits that detail the Opry's 70-plus year history, from the incomparable Minnie Pearl to mega-superstar Garth Brooks. In addition to regular Fri-Sat night shows, the Opry offers Tuesday night shows from Apr-Dec.
