We saved the best for last. Opened in 1892 as a tabernacle, the Ryman featured church services, plays, speeches and performers from Rudolph Valentino to Enrico Caruso. It became "the mother church of country music" after the Grand Ole Opry arrived in 1943. The Opry left in '74, and the glorious building was nearly demolished. But it was saved and renovated to its former glory — perfect acoustics and all — and today hosts concerts for every taste. Even the Opry returns for three months every year.
