Help us make it rightThe Ryman Auditorium first opened its doors in 1892 as a vision of Captain Thomas G. Ryman. With the coming of the Grand Ole Opry show in 1943, the Ryman found its identity as the Mother Church of Country Music. In 1974, the Opry moved to its current home by the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center and left the Ryman vacant. It was not until twenty years later in 1994 that the Ryman...
Jill Brown says: My definition of training is: "making your MIND comfortable with the fact that your BODY is going to be a little uncomfortable". People who don't like to exercise usually just don't like to be uncomfortable, but getting out of our comfort zones – mentally or physically – is where positive change happens. Nobody improves while sitting under a warm fuzzy blanket. My specialty is...

Opened in 1892 as the The Union Gospel Tabernacle and was the original home of the Grand Ole Opry beginning in '43. If you catch a show, don't be surprised if the artist performs A Capella or if you get hushed for talking during a slow song. Grab your tickets, a beer, and let the blazer-clad usher seat you to your church pew. Prepare to be blown away by the acoustics alone. Drop by anytime from...
If you're as enamored of music history as I am, you could devote several hours to a self-guided tour of this National Historic Landmark, where you're free to stand onstage -- even belt out a few bars if the spirit moves you -- or sit in the hardwood "pews," and wander the halls upstairs and down, looking at memorabilia in glass showcases. However, the typical tourist may be satisfied with a...
I always thought the Ryman was designed for country music and used for nothing but that; however on my $18 backstage tour, I learned not only about the singers who stayed in those rooms but about the original purpose of the Ryman. What a wonderful past. I am so glad I took the time to take the tour to learn...
We enjoyed the authenticity of the attraction. It has a tremendous amount of history attached to it, and it is a humbling experience, considering the fact that most of the performers came from extremely difficult backgrounds.
One of the most famous concert halls in the history of country music, this auditorium still hosts live music events.
Built in 1881, this structure is famous for superb acoustics. Stars like Enrico Caruso and Charlie Chaplin graced its stage in the early 20th Century. Home to the 'Grand Ole Opry' radio show for more than 30 years, it became known as 'The Mother Church of Country Music'. By day, you can view displays that depict its rich history. In the evening, enjoy live bluegrass, jazz, classical, country,...
The Ryman lot gets crowded, so scout out parking on your way in. Try the Church Street parking garage less than two blocks away.
