The George Jones Museum in downtown Nashville permanently closed its doors

As many Country music-themed bars and restaurants open in Nashville, George Jones’ downtown museum and restaurant is closing its doors.  “It has been a difficult 2 years for many — our company is no different,” a statement from the venue reads. “From the pandemic (and the starts and stop there) all the way through to the 2nd Ave bombing one year ago — we have fought for what is right for our loyal staff and local partners. As many business owners know, between the workforce shortages and difficult with consistency of products, it is a challenge day to day (to say the least!) to make a business viable.” The George Jones Museum and Restaurant opened in 2015, offering an event space as well as a museum that housed artifacts from George Jones’ career.  The statement said George Jones’ momentoes were being “handled with care,” and that, “There will be more to come on where this exhibit will land next.” Have you ever visited the George Jones Museum and Restaurant?
