The second leg of this itinerary will bring your group to tour the incredible Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Country music has long had a special kinship with the United States military. From the plaintive ballads of World War II that often lamented soldiers being separated from their families, like Kitty Wells’ “Heartbreak USA,” to the rousing “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” by Toby Keith, penned following the attacks on September 11, 2001, country music has always represented the feelings and sacrifice of the American soldier. The Museum is a world-class facility featuring thousands of priceless artifacts, theater experiences, live music, a full-service restaurant, and the best variety of souvenirs, apparel, and music in the city.
We appreciate your service to our country, and we will strive to make this an experience you will never forget.
