country music fans from around the world visit year after year to experience the unique country music history that comes alive
as you journey through the Willie Nelson and Friends Museum . This is a very personal museum that evolved over the years from friendships established by museum founders, Frank and Jeanie Oakley . The Oakley’s were longtime friends with not only Willie Nelson but many of his legendary country music friends as well . There are lots of personal items to see donated by legends like Webb Pierce and Faron Young who were regulars at the museum prior to their passing . The museum has always been known as a great hangout for many of the stars you’ll see represented in the many exhibits . The museum is true country music history and showcases an “All Star” line-up of some of traditional country music’s greatest stars! Among the many highlights on display include the Martin guitar and paystub from Willie
Nelson’s Grand Ole Opry debut in 1963 . You’ll also see many personal items of the great Patsy Cline . Also featured are several “Nudie of Hollywood” suits worn by the legends Lefty Frizzell, George Jones, Webb Pierce and Porter Wagoner . The Willie Nelson and Friends Museum is undeniably one of the best values in Nashville . It’s a family operated and family friendly attraction with plenty of free parking . You are also welcome to take photographs during your journey so don’t forget your camera!
The Willie Nelson & Friends Museum and General StoreA family owned Nashville Tradition for over 35 Years!

Are you looking for some good ole’ home cooking, exceptional Southern Hospitality and live entertainment that will have you singing along and tapping your feet? Then Nashville Nightlife is
definitely the place to go! We recently had the pleasure of a night out at the theater . We were warmly greeted at the door and given our tickets . We browsed the lobby area where we found unique, one-of-a-kind souvenirs and gifts . Before long, the hostess called our name and personally seated our party in the dinner theater . A smiling, friendly waitress took our beverage order and directed us to the buffet table . There we found a lovely salad bar and a first-class buffet with country fried chicken and ribs as their entrees that night, complete with all the fixins’ . Everything was homemade right down to the peach cobbler for dessert . I had the warm feeling of being in my grandma’s kitchen . Once the entertainment starts, I guarantee you will be dancing in your seat . We were treated to such a wide variety of music from Hank Williams Sr ., Patsy Cline, and
Conway Twitty to Sara Evans and Toby Keith . There is entertainment for the entire family . The “Best of Country” Dinner and Show, throughout their season, includes guest stars such as “Opry Star” Jeannie Seely, “The Fiddle Man” Tim Watson, Tommy Cash, Diana Murrell, Paula Poe (from the Tammy Wynette Show) and many others . This is a fantastic show you won’t want to miss! The standing ovation at the end of the show is an indication of the great time the audience had . Following the show there is a meet and greet with the performers . I would highly recommend that visitors to Nashville experience Nashville Nightlife where you will see the best of country from old to new . Come see why the Nashville Nightlife Dinner Theater presents a Dinner and Country Music Show voted the best combination in Nashville . Don’t miss this Nashville tradition . Located at 2416 Music Valley Drive in Music Valley Village across the street from the Gaylord Opryland Resort and the Grand Ole Opry . Call 615-885-4747 or 1-800-573-7973 for information and reservations or go to www .nashvillenightlife .com . Tour groups are welcome .

T he Johnny Cash Museum features the largest collec-tion of Johnny Cash memorabilia in the world . From The Man in Black’s earliest childhood artifacts to the very last song he wrote, you’ll find it here . Exhibits chronicle Johnny’s life and provide a very
personal and unique glimpse into his world . Depicted in stunning graphics, artifacts and interactive technology, visitors are provided a three dimensional walk through the life and legend of this international icon . Our exhibits include Johnny’s stage costumes, instruments, personal letters, artwork and handwritten songs as well as artifacts from family members and notable friends . More than 25 costumes are on exhibit including the gown worn by First lady Patricia Nixon when Cash played the White House in 1971 . Another highlight is the custom Gibson J200 guitar Johnny had made in 1958 which was on exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for seven years before moving to its present home here in Nashville . The instrument is valued at $250,000 . Cash, who sold more than 100 million records, is one of the world’s best known and loved entertainers . His concert tours took him around the world and he is known in every corner of the globe . He has received virtually every award the entertainment world has to offer and is the only entertainer in history to be inducted into the Rock and Roll, Country Music, Songwriter’s and Gospel Music Halls of Fame . His Facebook page has over 10 million followers; more than most living entertainers . He posted over 130 hits on the Billboard Country singles chart, more than anyone in history, except George Jones . (Discounting duets by both men, Cash’s total exceeds Jones .) Cash placed at least two singles on the Country charts for 38 consecutive years, including an amazing 25 hits between 1958 and 1960 .
Johnny Cash is the only artist to have songs on the Billboard charts for six consecutive decades . He received two of the Nation’s greatest honors; The National Medal of Arts, presented by President George W . Bush and the Kennedy Center Honors, presented by President Bill Clinton . He amassed 17 Grammy awards during the span of his career; among the most awarded to any entertainer in history . Personalities ranging from Snoop Dog, the members of U2, Bob Dylan, Justin Timberlake, Kris Kristofferson, Bruce Springsteen and several U .S . Presidents, among many others are self-professed Cash fans, demonstrating his broad popularity which spans age and culture . Among the many highlights are the handwritten lyrics to his classic hits I Walk the Line and Folsom Prison Blues . You’ll also see a stone wall from Johnny and June’s storied home on the lake in Hendersonville including their precious antique furnishings and personal belongings . Our Museum Store features the largest selection of Cash souvenirs, apparel and rare collectibles available anywhere in the world . Come and visit the Johnny Cash Museum .
