Country Music Hall of Fame Taylor Swift Education Center & Hatch Show Print

About this adventure

While celebrated globally for preserving American musical heritage, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum offers remarkable family-focused learning inside the vibrant Taylor Swift Education Center. Spread across two interactive classroom levels, the center hosts free weekend family programs throughout January and February, inviting kids and parents to try beginner songwriting workshops, test acoustic instruments at musical petting zoos, and create music-themed crafts. Families can also tour the historic Hatch Show Print letterpress shop—one of America's oldest operating letterpress poster print shops founded in 1879. Behind glass viewing windows, children watch master printers hand-ink carved wooden blocks and crank vintage letterpress machines. Special family printmaking activities allow children to press their own keepsake concert poster to take home. The museum's interactive galleries feature listening stations, sequined stage costumes, and custom vehicles that fascinate young music lovers.
