Tennessee Ernie Ford House

Reviewed By kayn576 - Austin, United States

Definitely worth making an appointment to visit. Go to the website. The tour guide was very informative and spoke lovingly of Ernie. This was a very special experience for me since I was a fan from the fifties. I learned things I never knew about him. I took pictures of news articles since I didn't want to take anymore of the guides time than necessary. Went back to motel and watched episodes on you tube from tv shows and performances. A highlight of my stay in Bristol.
