Answer 1 :
ah... my daughter works in convention billing at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. During your free time, yu might like to take a tour of President Andrew Jackson's home, The Hermitage. The price includes an intro movie, a guided tour through the mansion and a self-guided tour through the gardens, the cemetery, the grounds, including slave quarters, the church he built for his wife Rachel and the Tulip Grove, the home of his adopted son. You might also enjoy going to downtown Nashville where you can go on a 2 mile walk (starting on 1st Ave. at Fort Nashboro and following the lines painted on the sidewalks) which will take you past many historic and interesting sights in a short period of time. You'll see Printers Alley and Broadway with all the honky tonks, the Ryman Auditorium, the Capitol Building, 2nd Avenue with the famous Wildhorse Saloon, and more. Very nearby is the Country Music Hall of Fame. Centennial Park is down the road about 2 miles and there is a full scale repkica of the Greek Parthenon including the 40' tall golden Athena! It's a museum now and very inexpensive. There are many, many more historic civil war era mansions and plantations to tour if you like those (I do!)- Belle Meade, Carnton, Belmont, Travellors Rest, Carter House and Cheekwood which is especially beautiful and is now Nashville's Home of Gardens and Arts. If you would like any more info. feel free to email me through YA. Have a great time here.
