Grand Ole Opry House









Tuesday afternoon we toured the Grand Ole Opry House. This is where the Grand Ole Opry moved in 1974 when it left the Ryman Auditorium. It sits a short 10 miles from downtown. The tour included the tunnel, where we literally almost brushed shoulders with a star. Also included was the dressing rooms (can you guess which one is Marty Stuarts?) the backstge and the infamous Circle. This circle was cut from the stage of the Ryman Auditorium and moved to the new Opry House so everyone can still stand where the greats stood. The painting is by Hee-Haw legend Archie Campbell, unfortunately if you look at the steel guitarist you can see a water line that shows how deep the Opry House was during the Nashville floods of 2010.
