Jack Daniels Museum Downtown

[Guest]

This works out great with all the redevelopment going on d'town but I wonder where the museum will land. To me it sounds like a good fit at the new CC, at the Sounds development or on Broadway. What are your thoughts?

This sounds like it would fit right in on 2nd ave. in a historic building.

I never would have thought of this. What a cool idea. I LOVE the Lynchburg experience anyway, so bringing some of it to downtown would be great. The last time I was in Lynchburg, I was on the shuttle with people from Switzerland, Germany, England, Australia....heck, you name it. Looking through the visitors book, Lynchburg is one helluva an international tourist destination. Even when hosting friends from Jersey, we just HAD to drive to Lynchburg. This is fun news.

Yes, this is awsome!! We need more of this kind of thing! You're totally right about Jack Daniels being one of the few internationally recognized brands from Tennessee.

I"m not sure if any of you have ever heard of the Guiness Museum in Dublin, but I sure hope this turns out to be similar to that. It is complete with stations that show the making of beer, a souvenir store, and, of couse, a beer tasting center. It's really cool. Plus, it is the number one tourist attraction in the whole city!

Rumor has it that the company has released confirmation that it's looking at the historic Acme Farm Supply building at First and Broad. Just think, if you live in Lebanon, you can stop in for a "taste" and take the train home--or go to the ballgame. lol

There's still an issue with permitting and such. More details will come out soon. This won't happen overnight, it could be a while before it opens, but I can't think of a better spot to bring lots of life back to that corner.

I do not know how many times I have had to take my brother-in-law to Lynchburg. He loves the place. It is a great tour and it does attract a diverse group of people. It would not hurt to have it in Downtown Nashville. I imagine this would be on Broadway or 2nd Avenue. The Acme building would be perfect.

Who needs a CC when you have Jack.

Before I read this post I thought of the Acme building. I thought that would be the place and low and behold that's the rumor. I hope you are right Dave. That would be a great use for that building.

^ I agree. That would be perfect for them.

Well of course the ACME is the logical choice, I was 'just' testing you guys. You passed that is all.
