Kentucky is known for its horses and bourbon, as well as many other things that make our state exceptional and unique. We happen to have a lively music scene and a very special place in our hearts for the Bluegrass genre. This toe-tapping music has Kentucky roots, so it makes sense that we are home to the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum. This destination recently opened a brand new, state-of-the-art facility and you’ll want to visit ASAP.

Just this past month, the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum held its grand opening at a brand new, beautiful facility in Owensboro. It was a weekend of celebration, learning, and of course plenty of Bluegrass music.

Of course, the museum would not be all about the music if there wasn't an opportunity to see and hear a performance firsthand. The venue here is amazing and you'll definitely want to try and visit at the same time as a ticketed performance to round out your Bluegrass music adventure.
