Visit the Bluegrass Hall of Fame Museum in Brown County, Indiana, and explore the legacy of Bill Monroe, the “Father of Bluegrass.” He started the museum in 1984 to honor musicians who made a big impact on bluegrass music. Each person in the Hall of Fame was chosen by Monroe himself.

In 2019, the museum was updated and now includes even more cool items — like old instruments, stage clothes, personal keepsakes, and photos. You’ll also learn how folk music, country, and even stars like Elvis Presley were influenced by Monroe’s music.

The museum is next to the camp store and gift shop, and it’s a great stop — especially during the annual bluegrass festival. Best of all, admission and parking are free!

Whether you’re a big fan or just curious, this museum is a fun and easy way to learn about the roots of American music.
