During your Nashville vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
If you're a fan of country music, this is the museum in Nashville. Even if you aren't, almost anyone with an appreciation for American popular music will thrill to such sights as Bob Dylan's barely legible inscription scrawled across a lyric sheet; Emmylou Harris' petite, bejeweled cowboy boots; and Elvis' gold-leafed Cadillac (a gift from Priscilla). Savvy multimedia exhibits let visitors explore displays on bluegrass, cowboy music (a la Roy Rogers), country swing, rockabilly, Cajun, honky-tonk, and contemporary country music through personalized CD listening posts, interactive jukeboxes, and computer stations. The Grand Ole Opry gets its due with a mind-boggling array of memorabilia, enhanced by vintage Opry recordings. And, as if all of this wasn't more than a visitor could stand, the museum also showcases such down-home objects d'art as Naomi Judd's rusted wringer-and-tub-style washing machine, and the kitschy cornfield from TV's Hee Haw -- complete with Junior Samples' denim overalls and Lulu Roman's plus-size gingham dress.Even if you've visited the museum before, there's always a reason to return for special exhibitions and events. Looking ahead, "Night Train to Nashville: Music City Rhythm & Blues 1945-1970" will examine the connections between country music and rhythm-and-blues with archival video footage and previously unpublished photographs. The exhibition will open in March 2004 and run through December 2005. Meanwhile, lucky visitors at any time of year might catch a glimpse of a country great: Nashville resident Vince Gill is said to be a regular here, and legends such as Merle Haggard have been known to drop by for impromptu concerts.If you want to arrange a visit to the old RCA recording studio, where Elvis laid down a few hits, you'll need to sign up here at the Hall of Fame. The studio itself is located in Music Row area of Nashville. Allow 2-3 hours.
Nashville Zoo at Grassmere
This 200-acre park just south of downtown is in the midst of an expansion. In the naturalistic habitats, you'll see river otters, bison, elk, black bear, gray wolves, bald eagles, and cougars, as well as other smaller animals. In the park's aviary, you can walk among many of the state's songbirds, and at the Cumberland River exhibit expect to see fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Allow 2 to 3 hours.
Carter House
Built in 1830, the Carter House served as the Union army command post during the Battle of Franklin. Throughout the bloody fight, which raged all around the house, the Carter family and friends hid in the cellar. Today, you can still see many bullet holes in the main house and various outbuildings on the property. In addition to getting a tour of the restored home, you can spend time in the museum, which contains many Civil War artifacts. A video presentation about the battle that took place here will provide you with a perspective for touring the town of Franklin.
Embassy Suites Nashville
This all-suite hotel makes a great choice and a good value for families, as well as business travelers. Not only do you get a two-room suite, but breakfast and evening cocktails are also included in the rates. These rooms are spacious, modern, and tastefully decorated in warm colors. The centerpiece of the hotel is its large atrium, which is full of tropical plants, including palm trees. A rocky stream runs through the atrium and there are caged tropical songbirds adding their cheery notes to the pleasant atmosphere. The casual restaurant is located amid the tropical plants in the atrium and serves moderately priced meals. Also in the atrium are the lounge where the evening manager's reception is held and a dining area where complimentary breakfast is served.
Shoney's Inn-Nashville Music Row
If you want to stay right in the heart of Music Row and possibly spot a few country music stars while you're in town, try this sort of modern antebellum-style motel. In the lobby, you'll find walls covered with dozens of autographed photos of country music stars who have stayed here. The rooms are fairly standard, though they are all quite clean and comfortable. Free local calls and faxes are a plus. The suites are large and one has a whirlpool tub.
Holiday Inn Express-Airport
Though you might expect from the name that this is a basic motel, in truth it is quite removed from the generic mainstream. From the minute you pull up to the grand entry portico, you'll recognize that this is a great value. Step through the door and you'll find yourself in the lobby of a remote mountain lodge. There are moose-antler chandeliers hanging from exposed roof beams, a stone floor, and a river-rock fireplace. The guest rooms are all fairly spacious, with country-pine furniture and extra-large bathrooms. Many rooms have little balconies overlooking the courtyard gardens or the rolling hills of the surrounding office park.
