Launched in 1925 by WSM radio with a single fiddler’s performance, the Grand Ole Opry grew from a local barn dance into a national phenomenon, becoming a launchpad for legends like Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, and Hank Williams.
“The Opry's status as America's leading country music radio show, from the 1940s into the 1960s, made possible Nashville's emergence as the undisputed center of the country music industry. This exhibit surveys the enduring history of a program that’s survived a century of change,” said Kyle Young, CEO of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
"As country music continues to expand globally, the Opry has stood as its heart for a century," added Patrick Moore, CEO of Opry Entertainment Group. "It's the birthplace of traditions and stories that define Nashville's unique imprint on the genre. We're honored to be the subject of this exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, showcasing why the Opry is not only a Nashville landmark but also a cherished touchstone for fans worldwide."
