Birthplace of Country Music Museum

"As the name indicates, this is a museum dedicated to the first country music recordings. Some nice artifacts along with a knowledgeable staff. Several informative videos and a lot of displays with information to read."

"My first time there I really enjoyed the experience. The staff is super helpful and interested in you, especially the older lady. How highly recommend a walk-through? Was here for R&R some fine entertainment."

"We went to the Country Music museum in Bristol which is the birthplace of country music. They were very nice there and even though there were three of us they only charged us for one person since it was going to close in 40 minutes. As we stuck around the gift shop they didn’t rush us when we apologized for keeping them late a couple of minutes. If you’re a country music fan, I recommend checking it out. 9 out of 10 stars."

"This is where it all started. The museum is very well done with loads of history. Lots of interactive displays and all kinds of hillbilly and gospel nostalgia. They do offer a military or senior discount."

"This museum is affiliated with the Smithsonian. It details and chronicles the earliest recordings of County Music, known as the Bristol Sessions, a 10 day recording session in the early 1900's. There are many instruments from that Era as well as some newer but still historically significant. It's got some hands on exhibits, such as sound stations that allows you to interact and choose music from the Bristol Sessions. There are also sound proof booths where you can sing a long. The famous Carter family were 1st recorded there. Johnny and June Carter Cash's son narrates videos in the museum."
