Welcome to our New York State Country Music Hall Of Fame
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 you will find donations from local and nationally known country entertainers. Spend a few hours looking at memorabilia of our favorite local country musicians from around the state of New York and the many donations of nationally known county entertainers that have appeared at the park over the past 20 years.
A special concert is held every year to induct nominees into the Hall of Fame.
