Southern Ghost Stories: Opryland

Description

When you think about Nashville, Tennessee, one of the first things that comes to mind is country music and the Grand Ole Opry. For 26 years the Opryland U. S. A. theme park was the place to be during the summer until it was closed down and turned into a shopping mall. Lurking underneath the vast Opryland complex and surrounding area lies a complicated history. From Native Americans that once called the area home, to plantations that were located on the property many years before Opryland came to town, there is a dark underbelly that is rarely discussed.
