Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame! Merritt BC Tour

Today I'm taking you inside the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in beautiful downtown Merritt, British Columbia — Canada's Country Music Capital!

What an incredible place filled with Canadian music history, legendary performers, historic memorabilia, stage clothing, signed stars, photographs, musical instruments, and country music treasures!

We explore the Hall of Fame inductee displays, historic posters, plaster handprints, and fascinating artifacts celebrating the musicians who helped shape Canadian country music.

Some of the legendary names featured include Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, Michelle Wright, Hank Williams Jr., the Judds, and many more!

The museum is operated by dedicated volunteers who put their hearts and souls into preserving this wonderful musical heritage.

We're also talking about the upcoming Rockin' River Music Fest, August 3–6, 2017, featuring Toby Keith, Willie Nelson & Family, The Band Perry, Kacey Musgraves, Aaron Pritchett, Crystal Shawanda, and the Washboard Union!

And don't forget the live music at the Hall of Fame! Volunteers tell me that musicians are performing on Fridays from 3 PM to 6 PM.

Merritt has so much potential, and attractions like this help bring people together while preserving our history.

If you're travelling through British Columbia's Interior, take a drive into downtown Merritt and check out the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame!

Support local tourism, Canadian music, and the volunteers keeping this history alive!
