Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum
Opened in 2002, the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum stands as a celebration of the rich musical legacy that calls Kentucky home. Located in the historic stables of John Lair, founder of Renfro Valley Entertainment Center, the museum invites visitors to explore a diverse collection of artifacts, memorabilia, and exhibits that highlight the careers of Kentucky’s greatest musicians across all genres—country, bluegrass, rock, gospel, and more.
