Some Facts About Nashville and Tennessee 

 If you visit Nashville and have even a passing interest in country music, your trip will be incomplete if you miss checking out country music’s Ryman Auditorium

The Ryman Auditorium was conceived in 1895 by a Nashville riverboat captain named Thomas Ryman, who had recently been converted to Christianity by a southern evangelist, and decided to build a church to serve Nashville’s revivals.  In 1892, the first part of the auditorium was opened, named the Union Gospel Tabernacle, which included the pews that remain there to this day.  Construction was completed in 1899, and the total cost – $100,000.

In 1943, the Grand Ole Opry moved to the Ryman Auditorium, where it remained full-time until 1974, when it moved to the Opry House, which was built adjacent to the Opryland Hotel for the purpose of being a dedicated auditorium for Grand Ole Opry performances.

The Grand Old Opry returned to the Ryman in 1999, for winter season performances, which continue to this day.

Of course, there’s much more than country music performed at the Ryman.  Virtually every type of music has been celebrated and performed here, and it’s been voted one of the best places to hear music in America.

 

 



There's all kinds of exploring to do on the other side of the gate into Butterfly Hollow. Flowing through the foothills and into our closest small town of Carthage, is the Cumberland River.  River Paddle boats and fishing boats travel the river that eventually winds it way past the shores of Nashville. The river also creates the beautiful Cordell Hull Lake a few miles down stream.  A couple minutes to our south lies the picturesque Center Hill Lakeand Caney Fork River, which twists and turns across the Cumberland Plateau. The Caney Fork River is said to have the best trout fishing this side of the Mississippi




 

 


 

  • A Bit About Tennessee History

Tennessee became the 16th state of the of the Union in 1796. The name of Tennessee comes from the Cherokee name Tanasai, which was a native village in the area. 

With the first arrivals of non-Indian settlers, such as, James Robertson and the Donelson Party, in the early 1790's, Tennessee severed all ties as being known as the western part of North Carolina, and later The State of Franklin, and applied for admission into the Union.

Within the next century, Tennessee found itself changed from a trading post, frequented by mountain men exploring the fur trades from the Mississippi river to the Upper Illinois territories; to a thriving educational and commerce center.

In the 1840's educator Philip Lindsay thought that Nashville should encourage the ideals of classical Greek education, such as Philosophy and Latin and be known as the Athens of the West.

While that nick -name never took hold, decades later Nashville would be given a similar nick-name; Athens of the South, that would became synonymous with Nashville until the title of Music City arrived, with the dawn of the Grand Ole Opry in the 1930's. If you look in the yellow pages of Nashville, you will still find many companies with the name of Athens within their title.
