Rattler/Firebird 2018 Reunion Activities and Tours
Nashville City Tour and Country Music Hall of Fame
Thursday, May 31st (9:00am-3:00pm) - $55.00 per person.
This is not your typical, routine city tour, but an entertaining look at all the sights of bustling Nashville. You will enjoy a completely narrated tour of Downtown Music City, including the 2nd Avenue North Historic District, the Nashville Honky Tonk Scene. The tour will include a drive by Ft. Nashborough, Riverfront Park and the Historic Ryman Auditorium. Then head on to see Vanderbilt University, the Parthenon (a replica of the original in Greece), the stately homes and estates of Country Music’s legendary performers on Millionaire’s Row, and the Military WWII Memorial. You will have time to enjoy lunch on your own. For the second half of the day, explore the magnificent 47 million dollar Country Music Hall of Fame. This isn’t just a museum; it’s an experience! Enjoy this exciting and entertaining destination with something for everyone. Rhinestone costumes, seasoned instruments and tar-stained lyric sheets are only the beginning. Add interactive exhibits, films featuring today’s top country names, private songwriter sessions, and a day at the CMHOF museum turns into memories of a lifetime.
