Hall Of Fame

The highlight of the Cortland Country Music Park is the New York State Country Music Hall of Fame, the original reason for the Cortland Country Music Park.

When you visit the New York State Country Music Hall of Fame, from the outside it is deceiving. As you enter the inside your breathe is taken away by the array of memorabilia from the many Nashville and local entertainers. For instance, Jack Greene's suit, Kenny Rogers' famous white suit, Jeannie C. Riley's dress, and Tammy Wynette's $10,000 sequined dress. See the walls of plaques of persons inducted into the Hall of Fame and the Hall of Honor. Also see the one of a kind pictures from over the last 30 years and of course the memorabilia from our local musicians.


Admission is $3 per person

Admission By Appointment Only
