Ports of Call - USA - Tennessee - Nashville
Country music lovers may know it only as Music City, USA .... but for cruise passengers Nashville is a popular riverboat port of call.
The first claim to fame of the state capital of Tennessee is of course as the country music capital of the world, expressed at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The Grand Ole Opry Museum pays tribute to Hall of Fame members and the Opry and its stars. The Music Valley Wax Museum has more than 50 lifelike wax figures of country music's greatest stars, dressed in their original outfits. Opry Mills is a shopping and entertainment destination.
Other attractions include Belle Meade Plantation, Cheekwood-Tennessee Botanical Garden & Museum of Art, and Tennessee State Museum which has a large section on prehistoric Indians and Civil War objects. The Hermitage, the home of President Andrew Jackson, is at Old Hickory, about 10 miles east of downtown Nashville.
Nashville offers something for the whole family: The Adventure Science Museum, the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere, Art Quest at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, and the Valley Fair Amusement Park are just a few.
Take a stroll into Nashville's past to explore the many historical sites the city offers like Belle Meade Plantation and Fort Nashborough. Fort Negley tells the surreal and fascinating story of freed African-Americans constructing a union fort on a hill overlooking downtown Nashville.
