While You're Here
Why not spend the day before or after the seminar seeing some of Nashville? Full of history, culture, and, of course, country music, Nashville features plenty to see and do.
Nasvhille Zoo at Grassmere - It may be December, but plenty of animals like the cold! Nashville Zoo is a progressive and dynamic zoological park serving Middle Tennessee, southern Kentucky and hundreds of thousands of tourists that travel to Nashville every year, with over 338 animal species and nearly 3,000 individual animals.
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum - It wouldn't be Nashville without country music! The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum seeks to collect, preserve, and interpret the evolving history and traditions of country music. Recently undergoing a $100 million expansion that doubled its size to 350,000 square feet, in the museum’s core exhibition, Sing Me Back Home: A Journey Through Country Music, visitors are immersed in the history and sounds of country music, its origins and traditions, and the stories and voices of many of its honored architects.
The Frist Center for the Visual Arts - Unlike any traditional museum you’ve ever visited, the Frist Center for the Visual Arts has become a magnet for Nashville’s rapidly expanding visual arts scene.
