Welcome To The Country Historian - One Monumental Voice For Country Music

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

 

Located in the heart of downtown Nashville, Tennessee, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum stands as the genre’s most enduring and prestigious institution.

​

Founded by the Country Music Association in 1961, the museum opened its doors in 1967 and has since become a cultural cornerstone, honoring the artists, songwriters, and industry leaders who have shaped the sound and soul of country music.

​

Each year, a select few are inducted through a confidential process overseen by the CMA, with their legacies enshrined in the museum’s iconic Rotunda.

​

Below is a complete list of Hall of Fame inductees—from the inaugural class to the present day.
