Day Trips
Visit Bill Monroe’s Home Place
When you are at the International Bluegrass Music Museum, you are just forty minutes away from the home place of the Father of Bluegrass, Mr. Bill Monroe. The unique and beautiful place where bluegrass music was born, Rosine, Kentucky, draws visitors to Kentucky from all over the world.

Located just two miles west of Rosine, Kentucky, on Jerusalem Ridge, the Monroe Home Place has been fully restored and is open to the public daily for guided tours. The rule is: If the gate is open, go on in and stay as long as you like.
From the museum, take the William H Natcher Parkway, heading south. Take the Hartford/Beaver Dam exit and head toward Hartford. Follow the brown signs to the Home Place, which is located on Highway 62.
It is strongly suggested that you call (270) 274-9579 to be sure someone is available to help you tour the restored homestead. Normal tour hours are: Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 6.p.m. Schedule your tour by calling: (270) 274-9579 or (270) 256-1430.
