This is the exact spot where bluegrass was born – where Johnny Cash
met June Carter, where souls were saved and a slice of history was nearly
lost.” If you want to dip into that history, self-guided and guided tours are
available, including backstage experiences, with plenty of exhibits and
activities to suit your group. If live music is what you seek, performances
