String City features many artists who are members of the Country Music Hall of Fame. LOOK for their plaques in the Hall of Fame Rotunda. 1. CHECK the ones you find. 2. FIND the year they were inducted. 3. CIRCLE the artists you would like to know more about.

The Museum displays a few guitars belonging to artists featured in String City. WRITE the name of the artist in the space. CIRCLE features that are different on each instrument.

NOTE some other guitar brands you see in the Museum. How are they DIFFERENT from each other? How are they the SAME?
