Cooter's Place "Dukes of Hazzard" Museum in Nashville, Tennessee
Despite what some might think, we're not all stuck in a time warp in Nashville, livin a Southern-fried life like country bumpkins Bo & Luke Duke in "The Dukes of Hazzard". But we do happen to have a little Dukes of Hazzard fan & souvenir shop called Cooter's Place near Opry Mills.

It's the 2nd such shop; the first Cooter's was built in Gatlinburg. The one in Nashville just opened... perfectly timed with the new Dukes of Hazzard movie!

Here's a virtual tour through photographs of the Dukes of Hazzard museum located at Cooter's Place in Nashville.

..If you're a fan, this looks like a really cool place to visit!
