Ryman Auditorium

When the Ryman opened in 1892, @martinguitar had already been shaping music for over five decades, and the dulcet tones of these instruments found a home inside the wooden interior of the Mother Church. Many of your favorite artists from Dolly Parton to Bob Dylan have graced our stage with a Martin guitar in tow, and you can now see some of these signature instruments featured in our new exhibit, included on every daytime tour! 🎸 #NationalGuitarDay

To celebrate the big game, we’re looking back on a time when a football game was held at the Ryman in 1908! 🏈👀 #TabernacleTalks 💒

Today, we honor Martin Luther King Jr. by looking back at "A Tribute to the Freedom Riders," a benefit concert held at the Ryman in 1961 to celebrate the college students who took part in the Freedom Rides and to entertain attendees of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Harry Belafonte fell ill and couldn't make it to the show, but the supporting acts went on to perform. King used the intermission to award scholarships to college students who decided to complete the Freedom Rides. One of the students was John Lewis, who went on to become an activist alongside King during the civil rights movement.
