Birthplace of Country Music Museum is a museum celebrating the historic 1927 Bristol Sessions, which recorded some of earliest country music in America when the Carter Family and Jimmie Rogers and several other musicians recorded for the first time before gaining prominence. The museum is located at 520 Birthplace of Country Music Way in Bristol, Virginia. A live radio station WBCM-LP broadcasts from a station within the museum. The original site of the Bristol recordings is marked by a plaque several blocks from the museum.[1]
