In the early 1980s, after the death of his wife, Mildred, Roy Acuff, then in his 80s, moved into a small house on the Opryland grounds and continued performing daily at the Grand Ole Opry. He arrived early most days at the Opry before the shows and performed odd jobs, such as stocking soda in backstage refrigerators. Seeing the exterior of the house is part of the Grand Ole Opry tour, but anyone is able to walk up to it at any time.
