Happen to be visiting Nashville in May. Be sure and stop by The Willie Nelson & Friends Museum & General Store. 0Although this is far from the Smithsonian in size, nor will it rival a visit to the king in Graceland, the Willie Nelson & Friends Museum is a nice little country Western museum with a kick to it. Of course, the prime feature of this museum is items from Willie Nelson including his first Martin Guitar along with handwritten diaries and more. But the museum doesn't stop there. There are actually costumes, guitars, and memorabilia from over 30 country Western stars including those from Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Kenny Rogers and Dottie West to name just a few. The costumes alone are worth the price of admission, which is about half of what other museums charge. And after you are done reminiscing and taking photos, stop by our general store to buy one of many licensed country souvenirs. May is a perfect time to visit too, and the weather is just perfect in May in Nashville.
