The Ryman Auditorium

The Ryman Auditorium was once the Union Gospel Tabernacle and was home to many religious gatherings, educational events, and a hot spot for entertainment.  The Ryman began as a religious meeting place and eventually grew to be even bigger than imagined.   The Ryman Auditorium then became the home to the show that made country music famous, the Grand Ole Opry.  For nearly 31 years from 1943-1974, the Ryman was home to the Opry. The Ryman Auditorium truly has an incredible history, and has since become music's most iconic stage.

Of course with a history dating back well over a century, there are sure to be a few legends and things that go "bump" in the night at the building every now and then, and now the Ryman Auditorium is taking thrill seekers on an incredibly unique tour for two nights only.
