From old-world charm to the new frontiers of Southern style,

from high culture to hot chicken and honky tonks,

Nashville is a greatest-hits package few other cities can top.

Nashville sits in the heart of Tennessee,

and a two-hour flight from New York City.

Nashville also sits at the heart of some of

the greatest music ever to hit the airwaves of America.

Nashville has produced a never-ending stream of country classics.

Today, music makers and music lovers of every genre

hoping to experience a magic called The Nashville Sound.

But visitors soon discover the city’s magic extends far beyond music.

Nashville’s soundtrack began with the sound of axes and falling timber,

Battling displaced Cherokee and fierce winters,

there was little time for fiddle playing.

Nashville grew into a prosperous city that embraced the arts,

becoming the state capital of Tennessee in 1843.

Nashville’s early prosperity was fuelled by the plantation and slave trade.

Call into Historic Travellers Rest, the estate of Tennessee founding father,

where the doleful work songs of slaves still hang heavy in the humid air.

where the merry strains of Camptown Races once filled the parlour

where Overton entertained friend and neighbour,

Andrew Jackson, the seventh US president.

In the 1800s, a long, bumpy buggy ride separated the two friends.

Today it’s just a short drive from Travellers Rest to The Hermitage,

the opulent plantation home and final resting place of

But the real Queen of Tennessee’s plantations is Belle Meade.

Explore the remaining 30 acres of an estate which once stretched for miles,

where the slave quarters and rocking chairs

look as though they were vacated only yesterday,

and where the mansion’s columns still bear the scars of battle.

The uneasy social fabric of the plantation era was torn apart by the Civil War.

built by runaway slaves and free black men,

this Union fort played a decisive role in the Battle of Nashville

and learn more about the city’s role in the Civil War,

and how it rose from the ashes to become the Athens of The South.

Nashville had flowered into a sophisticated metropolis

colleges, and befitting its classical aspirations,

In 1911 Nashville rolled out the first automobile entirely

the Marathon Motor Works created beautiful roadsters

and tourers which were in demand all over the globe.

The former motor works is also home to boutique stores,

The dusty offspring of the American Pickers television series,

this is the place to find a one-of-a-kind souvenir

salvaged from the barns and garages of Tennessee.

To see the South’s most iconic motorcar,

head to Cooter’s Place, a museum dedicated to the Dukes of Hazzard.

Parked outside is one of the few surviving General Lees,

one of the 300 Dodge Chargers that were jumped,

rolled and wrecked during the hit television show’s six -year run.

But of course, it wasn’t Nashville’s motor cars

but the driving rhythms of its banjos and steel guitars.

Step into The Mother Church of Country Music,

a tour or concert at this former downtown tabernacle

The Grand Ole Opry, was broadcast live from the Ryman,

reaching living rooms as far away as Canada.

In 1974, the show’s popularity forced it to relocate to a larger, modern venue.

Today, The Grand Ole Opry House is the home

to the longest-running radio broadcast in US history.

Take a backstage tour of the change rooms, watch a live radio interview,

and then sit back as country stars gather ‘round a hallowed circle of timber,

Just steps from the Grand Ole Opry House, is Nashville’s Madame Tussauds.

You won’t find movie or sporting stars here;

this wax works is a celebration of the giants who shaped American Music.

The celebration of music continues back downtown,

at the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum.

From the Steinway which added the heartache to Stand By Your Man,

to the bass which put the lowdown into Motown,

this is the place to get close to some of the world’s most revered instruments.

Just a fifteen-minute walk away is a monument

dedicated solely to country’s brightest stars,

the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

Featuring a mind-boggling collection of photographs,

this is the ultimate ride through country music.
