The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee is one of the world’s largest museums and research centers dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of American vernacular music and the world’s largest repository of country music costumes, films, historic cars, musical instruments, and other artifacts on 350,000 square feet. Chartered in 1964, the museum has amassed one of the world’s most extensive musical collections. Created in 1961, membership in the County Music Hall of Fame, the highest honor a country music professional can receive, is extended to performers, songwriters, broadcasters, musicians, and executives in recognition of their contributions to the development of country music. The Country Music Hall of Fame honor was created in 1961 by the Country Music Association (CMA); the first inductees were Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, and Fred Rose. Roy Acuff, the first living artist to join the Hall of Fame, was elected in 1962. The number of new members inducted each year has varied from one to twelve. countrymusichalloffame.org

The Country Music Hall of Fame was established in 1961 at the initiative of the Country Music Association to honor significant artists of the genre. Initially purely symbolic, the hall of fame received its own building on Nashville's Music Row in 1967. Later, a library, a recording studio, and a historic printing press were added. Since 2001, the museum has been located in downtown Nashville. It displays exhibits, personal artifacts, and honors musicians—one of the highest honors in country music.
