Think music halls of fame stop at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville? Guess again. There are now 49 music halls of fame that you can visit in the U.S. and Canada.
North America has 17 physical music halls of fame devoted to genres such as rock, country, blues, bluegrass, polka and more. In addition, there are 32 physical music halls dedicated to states, regions and venues.
The newest music hall of fame is the Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame in the Boch Center in Boston. The hall, which opened Sept. 30 inside the Wang Theater, “celebrates the lifeblood of America’s musical and cultural heritage.”
It honors such greats as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Cat Stevens and more.
