TENNESSEE

Tennessee sits at the origin point of multiple American musical traditions, with Nashville’s country music industry centered on the Grand Ole Opry, the longest-running live radio program in American history, and Memphis’s Beale Street and Sun Studio at the intersection of blues, soul, and rock and roll history. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park on its eastern border with North Carolina is the most visited national park in the United States, receiving more than 12 million visitors annually, and the state’s Civil War history is preserved across dozens of battlefields concentrated in its central and western regions.
