Learn about country music legends across the decades in the hall of fame, where names like Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Reba McEntire and Garth Brooks are honored. For an additional fee, visitors can step into the Historic RCA Studio B, the recording space known as the birthplace of the Nashville Sound. 222 Rep.
