The Tennessee Central Railway Museum is a museum in Nashville devoted to the city's rail heritage, and it draws visitors who want to see preserved locomotives, vintage cars and railway equipment up close rather than only read about them. It sits apart from the music-driven sights that define most trips here, which makes it a good half-day change of pace. Nashville itself rewards that kind of wandering. Visitors come for live music in venues ranging from the famous honky-tonks on Broadway to the Ryman Auditorium, a former home of the Grand Ole Opry, and beyond music the city offers museums, parks and a growing food scene. Its layout includes distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character and attractions, so a railway museum stop fits naturally into a stay built around downtown, The Gulch, Music Row or East Nashville.
