Ryman Auditorium
The Ryman Auditorium first opened its doors
in 1892 as a vision of Captain Thomas G.
Ryman. With the coming of the Grand Ole
Opry show in 1943, the Ryman found its

Music. In 1974, the Opry moved to its current
home by the Gaylord Opryland Resort and
Convention Center and left the Ryman vacant.
