Inside the Ryman Auditorium - Grand Ole Opry

Inside the Ryman Auditorium, looking across the balcony. The building is more than 100 years old and a national historic site. The Grand Old Opry started in this building but now only broadcasts from here in the winter months, when tourism slows down so it was a great time to visit and see the show in the historic building.

  1. Thanks for writing this, I found it very informational. I grew up in Memphis and still have several warm memories of the area. I am working on a vacation back there this summer. Has Memphis changed much from the early 80’s? I am really looking forward to seeing Graceland again.
