Things to do in Bristol
Bristol is a city split by a state line: State Street runs right along the Tennessee–Virginia border, with Bristol, Tennessee on one side and Bristol, Virginia on the other. Its place in music history was secured in 1927, when the Bristol Sessions recorded the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers, earning the city recognition from Congress as the Birthplace of Country Music. Today the local economy includes manufacturing, healthcare, retail and tourism, and the Hard Rock casino resort on the Virginia side has added a new entertainment draw.
