No complaints here! Admission was free and the place was very clean and well laid out. It’s definitely on the small side but they have a little bit of everything. There’s a lot of good Tennessee history on display and they had a really nice temporary exhibit on the 1982 World’s Fair.

Stopped by near closing time and were just going to look through the gift shop, but afterward, the staff encouraged us to take a look around the museum. The trolley car is a must-see. The museum is loaded with musical memorabilia. Can't wait to go back when we have more time to tour all the nostalgia!
